Pineda's tenure ended after a 3-2 home loss to Charlotte, marking the team's fifth consecutive home defeat.
Assistant coaches Diego de la Torre and Eugenio Villazon were also dismissed, while goalkeeper coach Liam Curran remains.
Rob Valentino, previously interim coach in 2021, will take over as the search for a permanent replacement begins.
Pineda's record with Atlanta United was 34-34-29, with two playoff appearances ending in first-round eliminations.
