Tata is denying any contact with any other federations.
Could be just rumor mill generated by his agent to help with his negotiations.

He said there's been no contact but he also says, "Colombia would be an attractive job for any top coach..." and "I am willing to return to coach Argentina...".
It's also interesting to note his history shows he hasn't stayed with any club/team for longer than 2 years. (Other than Paraguay.)

Jason Kreis and Patrick Vieira were two of the highest paid coaches in the league and they go approx. $1 million per year. I had heard Tata was 2nd/3rd in the league because of his pedigree. I know he made just under $6 million at Barca, but personally, I don't see him coming to the MLS for less than a Million.

It seems is value to the franchise at this point might be pretty dang high and he probably can demand a pretty high number.

The Federation could probably pay him 3MM/yr. Not sure he speaks enough English (except knowing how to throw F-bombs), but I can't think of anyone I would want more in charge of the USMNT. Heck, could he do both USMNT AND USWNT? Neither is as full time as a club coach!

”It is very difficult for anyone at [the Colombian FA] to contact my agent, I do not have one. Colombia would be an attractive job for any top coach."
I hope he stays, but I trust the AUFC organization to find a suitable replacement if he does go.

So much for that theory! Well I'm sure either way, the misinformation will be good for his negotiations. Will be very very interesting, all word points to Almirón trying to leave after this season - could be the right time for Tata to leave also - especially after they win the MLS cup or whatever its called....

Agreed, Blank isn't going to allow the club to fail. AU has shown they are willing to scout and bring in talented guys.

He’s failed as the Force’s owner and hell Home Depot had its issues too. 5 years and aufc is gonna be just like the hawks, falcons, Braves and Uga, mediocre. That’s just Atlanta sports.

Wow, either really tough standards or just a broken hearted Atlanta native? Falcons have been one of the best teams in the NFL of recent years and one of the most consistent teams since Blank has taken over. Only a handful of franchises have really outperformed them over the last decade. (and the NFL has incredible parity, toughest league to separate yourself from other teams) That being said, if this replacement rumor has any truth to it I will be very disappointed in AU’s decision.

Here is an anecdote I heard, from a friend of Josef’s agent...
Tata’s technical team’s families all moved back home before school started this year. Also - Tata’s “salary” also covers his entire technical team. So any number you may hear is misleading.
Your mileage may vary.

I'm guessing you're a Falcons fan (I'm not, don't care about NFL whatsoever) who may be disgruntled about the inability to win the Super Bowl. In the 16 prior seasons under Blank they have had 8 winning seasons, made the playoffs 8 times, made the NFC championship games 3 times, won it once, and lost a Super Bowl. Playing in a conference with 16 other teams all with similar resources (some with better). Prior to Blank, if memory recalls, the Falcons had never had back-to-back winning seasons (or something like that). MLS is different, AUFC is spending more than the bottom 2/3 of the teams. Arena football is a waste IMO. Hawks made the playoffs like the previous 10 years I think.
Braves are top of their division, no? UGA being mediocre is different, only UGA fans view it that way because they haven't won the Mythical National Championship. As if thats the only standard for success. Consistent winning is the measure of success of a program/team.

Herschel Walker and the 1980 team that beat Notre Dame 17-10 in Sugar Bowl would like a word... True but 1980 is 38 years ago....that's a long drought for a program with the tradition & resources of uga. Unlike uga soccer, at least the football program is showing obvious signs of being a top program.

I meant recently. This accentuated my point. There's also like a 1942 team I think.
Georgia fans expect their program to be like Alabama. Never was there, never WILL BE. And I despise Alabama. You wanna be b the best, you have to PAY FOR the best (players that is... not coaches). Georgia fans expect too much. Period. Except from their girls soccer team... there they are happy with below-medioctity.

Well Georgia Tech had their last on in 1990 which is more recent than UGA's. I still chuckle about UGA fans still living the glory years of Herschel.

Except from their girls soccer team... there they are happy with below-medioctity. You might have meant recently, but not what you said. I am not being a UGA apologist. Their "tradition" is built on Sinkwich and Herchel. That is not much of a tradition. Of course, Alabama claims a National Championships even if some backwater Alabama newspaper voted them the top team in the Nation. They are truly pathetic in that regard. And Saban has bent more recruiting rules than actually exist to get more players to Tuscaloosa so he can win. Good for him and the fan base; not so good for the overwhelming majority of the players. But who cares about the players? As for soccer, Georgia fans have every right to expect a decent team. They used to have one until the boneheaded athletics administration (i) fired Holeman and (ii) hired this current staff who are so clearly out of their depth even though they had other excellent options available.

All I know is this to get back to the thread topic:
1) I'm very intrigued about Tata and if he decides to leave. I just get the sense, maybe I'm 100% wrong that he is the brains/architect behind the current roster - maybe outside of Gressel and Parkhurst. 2) Georgia women's soccer is currently in a bad bad place 3) The Gators ain't much better -- and can't score against legit sides - Gators have 4 conference games left, 3 against the bottom of the sec - Bama, Georgia and Mizzou. They end with Arkansas, and if they can't beat Arkansas, they might as well quit.

Sad for both AUFC and to some extent the USMNT. However, he doesn't officially speak English, soooo... The question now is who does Atlanta United get to replace Tata? David Moyes - ind.pn/2Ca4XT6 Hmmm, hard to forget the 81 crosses against Fulham when he was at Man U. * Moyes stayed with the classic 4-4-2 but was more conservative in implementing it. * Would Moyes be a good fit for the high flying offense the Five Stripes fans are accustomed to? * Atlanta is a fickle town when it comes to sports, how long will he have to before he starts to hemorrhage fan support? * If he does come and brings a style contradictory to Tata, will the current first team players, USL players and Academy players have to start looking elsewhere if they don't fit his sytle? In thinking about the still open USMNT coaching position. I think Tata could have breathed some life into the USMNT and done a good job in revamping the entire pipeline for the Men's national team. However, I wish the USMNT GM could have pulled the trigger before Monaco did, in getting Thierry Henry. I heard some fathers discussing him as a good option earlier this month and I think they make a good point. He's a proven winner, winning at all levels of soccer. He's played for top teams in Juventus, Monaco, Barcelona and Arsenal. He's won a World Cup and was a prolific striker. He also played for the NY Red Bulls. He would have been a good mix of talent, experience with an insiders perspective on US Soccer. All in all a win for Monaco and an even bigger loss for the US. Plus he speaks English, in addition to Spanish and French
