New head coach for Atlanta United is Gonzalo Pineda

Atlanta United has a new head coach, and for the first time in club history, he has MLS experience.

What should be helpful for Atlanta United is that not only is Gonzalo Pineda an experienced assistant coach in MLS, but he also has experience in the league as a player.

He will take over an Atlanta United team that recently saw their 12 game streak without a win snapped this weekend in a rather impressive 3-2 win at Columbus Crew SC.
