The Ronny Deila news is obviously the big story for Atlanta United fans headed into the holiday season. After two-and-a-half years at New York City FC, coupled with stops in Belgium and the UAE, the Norwegian manager is back at MLS as he takes his place as the fifth permanent manager in Atlanta United history. He won MLS Cup with NYCFC in 2021; can he do the same with a trophy-hungry Atlanta?
Hours after the news broke on Friday, Sydney and Tyler sat down to talk about the Deila hiring and what it means for the future of the club. They also recap Deila’s introductory press conference and discussed some of the key highlights.
