Atlanta United parted ways with head coach Frank de Boer late in July following the team’s miserable performance at the MLS is Back tournament.
The Five Stripes departed the one-off tournament in Orlando without a single point or goal to their name, falling to defeats against the New York Red Bulls, FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew.
Despite De Boer delivering US Open Cup and Campeones Cup titles in 2019, this still wasn’t enough to save his job, with shambolic defensive performances, disjointed midfield line-ups and a blunted attack perpetuating large parts of his reign.
