US EditionAtlanta United Bring Back 'Tata' Martino to Recapture MLS Magic
Atlanta United aims to restore success by rehiring Gerardo Martino after a 28-point season and four managerial changes, sources say.
- On Thursday, Atlanta United is finalizing a deal to bring back Gerardo "Tata" Martino, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported and ESPN confirmed.
- After a disappointing season, Ronny Deila was fired following Atlanta United’s 28 points in 34 matches and a 14th-place Eastern Conference finish.
- Martino, Atlanta's inaugural 2017 manager, led the club to the 2018 MLS Cup, has managed Mexico national team, Argentina national team, Barcelona, and left Inter Miami last November.
- Atlanta United says the move aims to restore stability after burning through four different managers, and CEO and President Garth Lagerwey said `Ultimately, we owe our fans a much better on-field product` soon.
- The Five Stripes' broader record shows three playoff qualifications in six seasons despite a $27.6 million payroll, finishing 29th among 30 MLS clubs, with Martino beating five candidates including Giovanni Savarese.
