Gabriel Heinze ceases to be Atlanta United manager

The bomb exploded in Atlanta United, because this Sunday, ‘The Five Stripes’ announced that the Argentine, Gabriel Heinze stopped being coach of the team of the Major League Soccer, after reaching 8 consecutive games without a league victory and after the recent separation from Josef Martínez from the starting squad, so the American club decided to separate the strategist from his position, just a few months after his arrival in the United States.

Atlanta United is going through the worst crisis of results and extra-court situations in its history, because after losing 1-0 to New England Revolution, ‘The Fives Stripes’ went 8 games without a win in Major League Soccer, setting his worst regular season record since joining the league in 2017, which is why they announced Heinze’s departure with immediate effect, while confirming Rob Valentino as interim manager.

We are grateful to him for his service, and I wish him all the best in the future, “he said.

‘The Five Stripes’ live a situation similar to what they went through in 2020, when the dismissal of Frank De Boer as coach was announced, after the ‘MLS is Back’ and Atlanta still cannot find the strategist to fill the place that Gerardo Martino left, after winning the title in the 2018 season.
