Atlanta United has turned back to Argentina to find its next manager.
Gabriel Heinze, the former Argentina international who has enjoyed a successful post-playing career as coach, will take the helm of the Five Stripes starting in 2021, signing a two-year deal, Atlanta announced on Friday. He'll take over from interim coach Stephen Glass with immediate effect.
Heinze will hope to have the same success enjoyed by countryman Tata Martino, who oversaw the first two seasons in club history, and less of the fate suffered by Frank de Boer, who was fired in the middle of his second season as manager.
