As Atlanta United’s 2023 season ended at the hands of the Columbus Crew on Sunday evening thanks to a 4-2 loss in Game 3 of the 1st round of the MLS Cup Playoffs, Gonzalo Pineda was positive about the season as a whole.

That said, Atlanta United’s head coach conceded that he’ll need to take a “longer analysis” as he prepares to set the club’s course for 2024.

“The last 10 games were encouraging,” he said. “The last three games here we faced a very, very good team. Columbus is a very good team and they were better than us in two of the three matches and we need to regroup, and improve for next year.
