Atlanta United announced today that it has parted ways with manager Gabriel Heinze after just eight months on the job.
The Five Stripes have hit a horrific stretch that has seen them go winless in their last eight matches. Not only have the results been dismal on the field, relationships between the players, most notably Josef Martinez, and the manager have taken a significant downturn. While exact details are scarce, Heinze forced Martinez to train away from the team despite being fit to play.
Heinze won just four total matches with Atlanta United and won only two MLS matches in 13 tries while losing seven times.
