Frank de Boer is a very polarizing figure for Atlanta United fans. From his comments on a spoiled fanbase to a ‘De Boer Out’ parody account on Twitter, ask any two Atlanta fans about their new coach and you will most likely get two different answers.
During a recent interview ahead of Atlanta’s U.S. Open Cup semifinal match against Orlando, de Boer revealed some of his thoughts on his past playing days, Atlanta’s season so far, and what he wants out of his team. Between Josef Martinez’s untimely injury and the semi-final win over Orlando, some important parts of this interview were lost in the news cycle.
