The second-best team in MLS 2018 and reigning MLS Cup champion, Atlanta United, has given itself the early Christmas gift of a new head coach: welcome to MLS, Frank de Boer.
As a player, Frank de Boer won more than 100 caps for the Netherlands, league titles with Ajax and Barcelona, a full set of international club trophies (UEFA Champions League; UEFA Cup - the tournament supplanted by Europa League; UEFA Super Cup; Intercontinental Cup: all with Ajax), and played in a World Cup semifinal. As a coach, he’s been to a World Cup final (assistant manager with the Netherlands in 2010), and won four consecutive Eredivisie titles as Ajax’s head coach.
