This week’s podcast is a real treat, as I speak to Conor Clancy, Editor-In-Chief of Forza Italian Football.

Conor is based in Parma and has lived in Italy for two years, so I took the chance to ask him about life on the peninsula both before and after lockdown. He tells us about his favourite things to eat in Parma (you can’t talk about Italy without talking about food, right?) and then we move on to talk about Conor’s team - Atalanta.

I ask him about the COVID-19 crisis in Bergamo, if there is a “magic formula” for La Dea’s recent success, why players Atalanta have sold generally don’t work well at other clubs and much more during an hour’s discussion that flew by!

To end, I ask Conor the question on everyone’s lips: Can Atalanta win the Champions League this season?!

It’s an unmissable podcast whether you are a die-hard Serie A fan or whether you just have a passing curiosity about Atalanta; the team who continue to make the headlines in Italy and abroad.
