Tata Martino is officially back — and Atlanta United’s next era begins now.

On this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Tonight, Jason Longshore and Mike Conti react to the club’s announcement that Martino has returned as head coach through the 2027 season. The conversation dives into why now — why this job, this timing, and this version of Atlanta United make sense for him — and what it means for a team ready to rediscover its identity.

Jason and Mike also discuss how Martino and Chief Soccer Officer Chris Henderson will work together to shape the roster, the lessons Tata brings from his time with Mexico and Inter Miami, and more.

From the fan reaction to the tactical blueprint, it’s a full-circle night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

ATLUTD's color analyst Jason Longshore joins to update the Tata Martino signing, and how he will look to improve this roster.

Bayern Munich silence Paris, Liverpool humble Madrid, and young Americans shine under the Champions League lights. Then it’s back home for MLS Game 3 weekend — five win-or-go-home showdowns from Charlotte to San Diego as the Audi 2025 Playoffs hit full throttle.

Jason Longshore takes you through the chaos: who’s advancing, who’s wobbling, and what it all means for the league’s biggest names. Plus, the 3-4-3 closes the show with Georgia’s college heroes, Coquimbo Unido’s historic Chilean title, and a new Atlanta United mini-pitch opening right here in Decatur.

Diego Maradona was more than a soccer player — he was an emotion.

From the dirt streets of Villa Fiorito to the roar of Naples, from the glory of Mexico ’86 to the heartbreak of scandal and exile, this is the story of the most human genius the sport has ever known.

In this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Flashback, Jason Longshore traces Maradona’s life through its triumphs and turmoil — the boy who played barefoot in Buenos Aires, the man who lifted Argentina and Napoli to immortality, and the legend who reminded us all that “La pelota no se mancha” — the ball does not get stained.

It’s a story of faith, fire, and forgiveness — the beautiful chaos of Diego Armando Maradona.

Atlanta United’s next move could define the club’s future — will it be Tata Martino, the returning champion who was previously linked with LAFC, or Giovanni Savarese, the proven MLS builder with deep New York roots... or someone else entirely?

Jason Longshore breaks down the win-now vs. stability debate, explores how the MLS coaching carousel (including LAFC, New England, and the Red Bulls) could impact Atlanta’s timeline, and dives into the opening week of the MLS Cup Playoffs — from Charlotte’s home loss to NYCFC to Philadelphia’s shootout thriller over Chicago, Miami’s dominance, and San Diego’s statement win.

Plus, a look at the local college scene in the 3-4-3 and more!

Relive one of the most iconic tournaments in soccer history on this edition of Atlanta Soccer Flashback. From Mexico’s resilience as host after the 1985 earthquake to Diego Maradona’s unforgettable “Hand of God” and “Goal of the Century,” we revisit the drama of Argentina’s run through England, Belgium, and West Germany. We also explore the political backdrop of the Falklands War, the wild celebrations back in Buenos Aires, and how the failed U.S. bid for 1986 inspired the successful push to host in 1994.

With this week's news about Ronny Deila being out at Atlanta United and Garth Lagerwey taking an immediate and indefinite leave of absence from the club to fully focus on medical treatment and recovery, we try to chart what's coming next for the club with Jason Longshore, Mike Conti, and Madison Crews.
