Heinze fired by Atlanta United after just 13 MLS games

The former Manchester United defender has been dismissed for a "variety of issues relating to the day-to-day leadership of the team"

Atlanta United have dismissed head coach Gabriel Heinze after just 13 regular-season games.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid defender posted just a 2-4-7 record in MLS while feuding with star striker Josef Martinez in the weeks leading up to his dismissal.

Atlanta have now moved on from Heinze after just a few months, pointing to a "variety of issues relating to the day-to-day leadership of the team led the club to this decision".
