Ajax legend Frank de Boer has been confirmed as Atlanta United’s next manager. De Boer was linked to the job only recently and appeared as a surprise candidate in recent days.
United have been without an official manager since winning the 2018 MLS Cup with Tata Martino at the helm. Thankfully, Martino’s exit from the club was known well in advance of his actual final days at the club. This gave Darren Eales plenty of time to interview and vet candidates.
“Frank de Boer has a distinguished background, both as manager and player, and we’re ecstatic to welcome him to our club,” Atlanta United President Darren Eales said.
