Tata Martino Rejoins Atlanta United, Vows to Revive Club's Fading Glory
14 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Tata Martino returns as Atlanta United head coach, 9 years after leading them to MLS Cup
- Atlanta United has struggled in recent seasons, failing to make playoffs 3 times since 2019
- Martino aims to reshape the roster and instill a renewed sense of grit and ambition
On November 14th, 2025, Atlanta United welcomed back Tata Martino as their new head coach, nine years after he first joined the expansion side. Martino, who led Atlanta to the MLS Cup title in 2018, is tasked with reviving the club's fortunes after a difficult stretch that saw them fail to qualify for the playoffs three times since 2019 and experience their worst season in 2025.
Martino, who was previously the head coach of Inter Miami, will have his work cut out for him. Atlanta's roster has been heavily criticized, and the team's emotional state was a bigger issue than their underwhelming on-field performance in 2025. Martino believes the squad has potential, but he acknowledges that new reinforcements will be needed to support the team's star player, Miguel Almirón.
