New Atlanta United manager Gabriel Heinze officially arrived in town on Monday. Before departing his home country of Argentina, “El Gringo” sat down with La Nacion for a wide-ranging Q&A.
Most of the chat centers around Heinze’s personal ambitions and history. The most pertinent information from an Atlanta United perspective is in regards to his recruitment to his new club.
According to Heinze, he and the Five Stripes front office made a promise to each other after an initial enquiry was made. While the Argentine wasn’t in a place to accept or decline the first offer from Atlanta, the club vowed to give him the time he needed to analyze the situation before making a decision.
