Atlanta United announced today ahead of it’s 2021 MLS home opener and first game being broadcast through its regional television network partner Bally Sports South that national soccer pundit Maurice Edu will be joining play-by-play commentator Kevin Egan in the booth this year. Edu will continue working on national broadcasts outside of these duties. Jillian Sakovits will remain as the broadcast team’s host and sideline reporter.
Edu has a storied career by American standards in the sport, playing professionally for 10 years with stops in MLS, the Scottish Premier League with Rangers, and a spell with the Premier League’s Stoke City.
