Atlanta United 2022 Final Exams: Josef Martinez

The one harsh truth in life that we must all face is that every thing has a beginning and an end. No matter how strange and sad it may be, we may have seen Josef Martinez’s last match as an Atlanta United player. After a frustrating start to the season filled with injuries and rehab, it didn’t get much better when he returned to the field. A poor season for the club results-wise and Josef not looking very Josef-like all culminated in the temperamental striker coming to blows with manager Gonzalo Pineda. A post-match lockerroom dust up saw the Venezuelan hit with a team-implemented suspension and a permanent relegation to reserve role to end the season.
