The man to lead Atlanta United into the next chapter is Dutch legend Frank De Boer, another manager with European pedigree to take the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. But for Five Stripes fans, what does that mean for the team on the field?
De Boer is a product of Dutch powerhouse Ajax, first as a player and later as his first job as a professional manager. The club is built on the beliefs of Dutch icon Johan Cruyff and manager Rinus Michels, whose philosophy of “Total Football” revolutionized the game in the 1960’s and turned the club into a powerhouse of the game.
