After nearly 125 days of radio silence since Atlanta United parted ways with Frank de Boer, we have a rumor. Kind of.
Argentine outlet Doble Amarilla reports that Gabriel Heinze is “close to joining” the Five Stripes to become the club’s new manager.
The report goes on to state:
According to sources, Heinze’s arrival in the USA could be defined in the coming days. Those who know the Gringo assure that the proposal “closes him”. (Translated via Google)
We here at Dirty South Soccer try to do our best when it comes to sifting through these types of rumors and figuring out what’s plausible and what’s not.
