Gianluca 'Luca' Percassi (born 25 August 1980 in Milan) is an Italian retired footballer.
A defender, Percassi came through the youth system at Atalanta, before signing for Chelsea as a 17-year-old, along with teammate Samuele Dalla Bona. Unlike Dalla Bona, however, he struggled to break into Chelsea's first team and only made two appearances, both as a substitute.[1] He joined Monza on a free transfer in October 2000 and then had spells with Alzano and Spezia.
In 2004, he retired from football to enter into entrepreneurship, following his father's footsteps.[2]
In June 2010 his father Antonio Percassi acquired the football club, Atalanta, the first club of Luca Percassi, from the Ruggeri family.[3] Luca Percassi became the CEO (Italian: Amministratore Delegato) of Atalanta.[4]
