Atlanta United has had an inconsistent yet exciting first half to the 2023 MLS season. There has been a lot of pressure on the club to get back to their roots that saw them lift MLS Cup in just their second season in the league. It hasn’t just been pressure on the pitch, though.
There have been shouts for technical director Carlos Bocanegra to step down after the blunder of hires/player personnel decisions made following the departure of Tata Martino. Despite a promising start to this season, the Five Stripes have looked out of sorts and all over the place lately and will look to the upcoming summer transfer window (which runs from July 5 - August 2) to ensure a stronger second half to the season.
