MEXICO CITY -- Former Atlanta United head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino believes MLS can one day equal the popularity of NBA.
The current Mexico manager spent two years in Atlanta, putting together the squad for the team's inaugural season in 2017 and then winning MLS Cup during the second attempt in 2018.
"In Atlanta I felt like a kid playing video games," Martino told TUDN. "We put together a team from nothing and fortunately it all worked out. MLS is starting to be seen as a stepping stone to Europe.
"At some point MLS will have the same relevance as NBA, it's a great spectacle," he added.
