The 2010-11 campaign delivered a triumphant return to glory for Atalanta as La Dea, under returning coach Stefano Colantuono and new president Antonio Percassi, clinched the Serie B title and secured immediate promotion back to Serie A. Leading the charge was the prolific veteran striker Simone Tiribocchi, whose 14 crucial goals proved decisive as the team finished in first place with 79 points. It was a vital year of rebuilding and redemption that marked the beginning of the club's modern era.
