Reputation
Over the years Atalanta has earned the reputation of being a feeder team within the league, mostly for their highly acclaimed and much vaunted youth policy. Over the years the club has produced a number or players who went on to bigger clubs though they have also launched the careers of other players, either by loan or co-ownership, who came to the club and developed before they moved on. Names such as the now disgraced Cristiano Doni and the likes of Sergio Floccari, Maurizio Ganz, Filippo Inzaghi, Paolo Montero, Sergio Porrini, Alessio Tacchinardi and Christian Vieri all came to notice while playing for Atalanta with players such as Germán Denis and Gianluigi Lentini rebooting their careers on loan at the club.
