Atlanta United believe they are turning a corner under club legend Tata Martino, with Miguel Almirón and Emmanuel Latte Lath giving the side a lift after a difficult 2025 campaign.
Martino is back in charge in Atlanta and, inside the club, there is a clear feeling that the team’s identity is starting to return. The coach who delivered MLS Cup success during his first spell is again central to the project, and the squad has spoken openly about learning to deal with adversity as results begin to improve.
Almirón, returning to the club where he became a star, has been one of the faces of the revival. The Paraguayan has helped set the tone in both work rate and leadership, and his influence has been felt as Atlanta try to match their talent with more discipline and control.
Latte Lath has also played a key role, offering fresh energy and a focal point in attack. His presence has added pace and purpose in the final third, giving Atlanta another edge as they look to build momentum and climb back toward where they expect to be.
The message from inside the camp has been consistent: the team has “learned how to suffer” during the setbacks of 2025, and that hard period is now being used as fuel. With Martino’s guidance and key players stepping up, Atlanta are aiming to finally fulfil the potential many believe has been there all along.
