Atlanta United a coveted job
With the firing of the disastrous Gabriel Heinze on Sunday, Atlanta United is looking for a new heard coach. And for a club as big as this one, an ordinary hire just won’t due.
This is a club that loves to talk about how big they are, from transfer budgets to crowds. When you talk that big, then surely the names linked for head coach will be just as splashy.
So that rules out a number of current MLS assistants who, despite a connection to sporting director Carlos Bocanegra, likely won’t check off the glitz factor that Atlanta United has gone for in their three head coaching hires to date.
