Atlanta United Brings Back 'Tata' Martino on Contract Through 2027

Club leaders cast the move as a fresh rebuild after a dismal 2025 finish.

Overview

  • The club confirmed the hire on Nov. 6 through its official channels, with Martino signed through the 2027 season.
  • Owner Arthur M. Blank said the decision focuses on building a new foundation to compete regularly in MLS.
  • Martino returns to the league one year after resigning from Inter Miami for personal reasons.
  • His Inter Miami tenure produced the club’s first trophies — the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 Supporters’ Shield — and a 26-9-12 MLS record.
  • Atlanta moved for Martino after finishing 14th in the East with 28 points in 2025 and dismissing Ronny Deila in October.
