On the 13th of August 2016, on the occasion of the Coppa Italia match between Atalanta and Cremonese, Gian Piero Gasperini sat at the black-and-blue helm for the first – out of the current tally of 320 and counting – time: the fixture culminated in a 3-0 walkover for the home team, courtesy of Rafael Toloi and Franck Kessié – with Polak’s own goal in between.

True
After retiring from professional football, Emiliano Mondonico started his training career within Cremonese’s Academy, rising through its ranks to eventually take the big step at the helm of the red-and-grey first team back in the 1981/82 season: after being knocked out of the playoffs in the following campaign, he clinched a historic promotion to Serie A in 1984 – ending a 54-year wait.
As for his stints in Bergamo, “Mondo” (how the coach was affectionately nicknamed) played a key part in seizing two promotions with Atalanta; nonetheless, on two separate occasions: namely, with the former dating back to the 1987/88 season (when the Black-and-blues reached the semifinals of the European Cup Winners’ Cup after a glorious run), and again in the 1994/95 campaign upon his return at the helm of the Orobic team
