#TataWatch is still going folks, but rumors abound that we might have a resolution soon...
BREAKING: Tata Martino will be Atlanta United's newest/first head coach. Introduction might come as early as next mid-week. #ATLUTD pic.twitter.com/W54M5IM2T2

I haven’t been able to get full confirmation of this yet, but I have been hearing the same from other sources. “As good as done” is one description I’ve been told. It sounds like could still be a few i’s to be dotted and some t’s to be crossed. With Ricardo La Volpe taking the Club America job, it also looks like it might just be a matter of time before Gerardo Martino is announced as the first manager of Atlanta United.
Stay tuned for more news as it breaks...
We talked about #TataWatch and other topics on this week’s Peachtree Post, please give it a listen and let us know what you would like to hear Jarrett and me discuss next week.
