Atlanta United President Darren Eales joined Dukes & Bell to talk about the hiring of new manager Gabriel Heinze, how he fits with what the team wants to do strategy-wise, and Heinze can re-establish Atlanta United to be where they want to be.

Eales talked about why he thinks Heinze was the best fit for the United.

“We’re really excited, we spoke about taking our time and making sure we got the right man taking us into the next chapter and I think with Gabriel Heinze we got somebody that’s a young up and coming manager that’s frankly coveted by a lot clubs around the world,” Eales said. “We had to put our due diligence in, but I’m thankful in the end he’s chosen us as a project to go forward with in 2021 and we’re pretty excited for what the future holds.”
