Bringing Miggy back is a risk worth taking

The smiles are returning to Atlanta.

This isn’t a fever dream. Miguel Almiron is really returning to Atlanta United.

That one sentence has reverberated around the community over the past few weeks unlike anything we’ve seen since the Paraguayan dynamo departed the club back in early 2019.

There have been many massive changes made to this club in recent years in an attempt to overturn the bad fortunes that have fallen on the Five Stripes. The whole front office has seen an overhaul. Many coaches have come and gone. The club that Miggy left barely resembles the one he returns to. That’s why this surprising news has completely revitalized a fandom that has desperately needed a shot in the arm.
