ROME, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Italian Serie A club Atalanta named Bortolo Mutti as their new coach on Monday following the resignation of Antonio Conte last week.

    Mutti is already the third Atalanta coach this season as Angelo Gregucci began this campaign in charge.

    Atalanta are the second Serie A team to change coaches twice this season following Siena and Mutti thus becomes the 10th coaching change.

    He previously played for Atalanta from 1981-84 and coached the team in the 1998-99 season.

    His last coaching job was at Modena in 2007-08.

    Atalanta are second last from the bottom in Serie A and have lost four of their last five matches, getting their only point at home to leaders Inter Milan.
