Atlanta United’s timeline for hiring a new manager by the end of the year hasn’t changed, team vice president Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday.
Bocanegra said supporters shouldn’t worry that there hasn’t been an announcement as the team disclosed several contract options Tuesday affecting the 2021 season.
“We don’t talk about rumors,” he said. “We keep our stuff in-house. Hopefully we can have something by the end of the year; but, if not, I wouldn’t get too concerned.”
Bocanegra said that Stephen Glass, who took over as interim manager when the club and Frank de Boer parted ways in July, will manage the team during its game against Club America in the quarterfinals of the Champions League Dec. 15 or 16 in Orlando, Fla. Bocanegra said the team hopes to learn within coming days which date the game will be played.
