Atalanta will face either CSKA Sofia or FC Copenhagen if they navigate their way past Hapoel Haifa in the Europa League.
The Orobici overcame FK Sarajevo 10-2 on aggregate to set up a meeting with the Israeli side, but even if they get through there’s another qualifying round to pass before they reach the group stage.
The draw was made today in Nyon, and Gian Piero Gasperini’s side faced the prospect of drawing teams like Basel, Steaua Bucharest or Rangers.
