Atlanta United
Team brings back manager who led it to the MLS Cup in 2018; new contract is through 2027 season.
One of Gerardo Martino’s (center) challenges in his return as Atlanta United manager will be to help Miguel Almirón (center left), who he managed in Atlanta in 2017-18, rediscover his form after a disappointing 2025 season. Almirón had six goals and seven assists in 31 games after returning to the Five Stripes. (Miguel Martinez/AJC 2017)
The most successful manager in Atlanta United’s history is returning.
Gerardo Martino was named the Five Stripes’ manager Thursday, with a contract through the 2027 MLS season. He is returning seven years after leading the club to the MLS Cup in 2018.
