Atlanta United has hired Chris Henderson as its chief soccer officer and sporting director, reuniting him with team president Garth Lagerwey. Henderson spent the past four seasons with Inter Miami, which won the 2024 Supporters’ Shield for the best regular-season record in Major League Soccer with a star-studded team led by MVP Lionel Messi.

Atlanta will send Miami a second-round pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft in exchange for signing Henderson. “His illustrious career and vast experience was something we valued in this hiring process and he was someone who immediately rose to the top of our search,” Lagerwey said. “He understands all the nuances that MLS roster building brings and I’m excited to see him play a pivotal role in helping us bring that consistent winner to Atlanta.”
The next step is the hiring of a new coach. Rob Valentino served as interim manager after Pineda was dismissed in June.
