De Boer out as Atlanta coach as both parties agree to part ways

Atlanta United announced on Friday that the club has mutually parted ways with head coach Frank de Boer.

The Dutchman leaves on the heels of a disastrous MLS is Back tournament run, with the Five Stripes failing to advance out of the group stage of the tournament.

Atlanta failed to score a goal across its three games, losing to the New York Red Bulls, FC Cincinnati and the Columbus Crew during their time in Orlando.

De Boer originally joined Atlanta United ahead of the 2019 season, replacing Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who left Atlanta to take over as manager of Mexico after winning the 2018 MLS Cup.
