Atlanta United brings back Ronny Deila to MLS as new coach

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — Atlanta United hired Ronny Deila as its new coach on Friday, bringing him back to Major League Soccer three years after he guided New York City FC to a championship. “We believe we did that with Ronny.” Deila’s only previous experience in MLS was two-plus seasons at New York City FC, which was highlighted by an MLS Cup title in 2021. Atlanta United had immediate success after entering the league in 2017, making the playoffs in its debut season and winning the MLS Cup the following year, while setting numerous league attendance records. Deila said he plans to install an attacking style of play that was a hallmark of Atlanta United during its first two years under coach Gerardo Martino.
