Summary

Grant has an in-depth interview with The Athletic's rising star writer Felipe Cárdenas about everything that's happening around Atlanta United in the wake of Gabriel Heinze's firing as coach after just 13 MLS games in charge. Cárdenas describes how the culture has changed inside the club, what led to Heinze's firing and what might come next. He also goes into detail on his recent mega-story on Atlanta United in recent years (including its unconsummated negotiations with Marcelo Bielsa) and his own story as a soccer journalist with roots in South Bend, Ind., and Colombia.
