Roma and Atalanta clash erupts after match; FIGC opens investigation

Source: Roma News

A heated confrontation between Atalanta's chief executive Luca Percassi and Roma's sporting director Tony D'Amico in the tunnel at the Stadio Olimpico after their match has triggered a formal investigation by the Italian football federation's prosecutor's office.

The tension from the big match continued after the final whistle, moving into the tunnel and the Monte Mario area, where Percassi and D'Amico engaged in a sharp exchange. Roma responded with a statement condemning the incident as "inaccettable", praising D'Amico's composure and announcing they would bring the matter immediately to the sporting authorities. Atalanta rejected the accusations and adopted a lower profile, though stated their willingness to cooperate in clarifying events that occurred away from cameras.

The Federal Prosecutor's Office has now intervened. Although no inspectors were present at the moment of the episode, prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné will gather the necessary information and open a file to hear from those involved and reconstruct what happened beyond the view of television coverage.
