Why Guillermo Barros Schelotto may not be the ideal replacement for Tata Martino at Atlanta United

Take one look at Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s Wikipedia page and what you will see is what appears to be a dream appointment to assume the mantle from Tata Martino at Atlanta United. He seems to tick all the boxes.

Excellent career as a player? Check.

Big club experience? Check.

MLS experience? Check.

Trophies? Check.

With this kind of qualification for the job, it’s no surprise that Atlanta United brass are reportedly interested in his services to succeed the influential Tata Martino as the club’s caretaker. But as Peter Coates explains in this tweet, Barros’s quality as a manager is still debatable, even despite his two Argentine Superliga titles at Boca Jrs.
