Atlanta United head coach Gonzalo Pineda has been reunited with a familiar face from his days with the Seattle Sounders.
Osvaldo Alonso, who spent 10 seasons with Seattle before heading to Minnesota United for 3 seasons, has signed a 1-year deal with Atlanta that includes a club option for the 2023 season. The 36-year-old won’t play in every match but will be looked on to provide a leadership role for Atlanta as Pineda heads into his 1st full season at the reins in 2022.
“We’re pleased Ozzie has chosen to sign with us in free agency,” Atlanta United vice president and technical director Carlos Bocanegra said in a statement.
