After the conclusion of its worst season in club history, Atlanta United fired head coach Ronny Deila on October 19, 2025. [1] Less than a month later, on November 6, the club announced the hiring and return of former head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino. Tata previously coached Atlanta United for two years, from the inaugural 2017 season to the 2018 season, in which they won the 2018 MLS Cup. [2]
