Background
The Atlanta Silverbacks had a long run in 2013. In the Spring Season, they finished first place and booked their ticket to host the Soccer Bowl. They finished seventh in the fall season, but still were in the final match to decide the NASL Champion. The Silverbacks lost 1-0 to the New York Cosmos in the 2013 Soccer Bowl.
They had close results in the U.S. Open Cup, winning their first match against fourth division opponent Georgia Revolution 3-2. Then losing to MLS side Real Salt Lake 2-3 in overtime a week later.
On December 9, 2013 first-year head coach Brian Haynes was not given a contract extension, leaving the Silverbacks without a head coach.
On January 7, the Silverbacks announced that they would completely eliminate the head coaching position, and have technical director, Eric Wynalda, manage the team. Wynalda has the most professional experience of the club staff as he played in the MLS, Germany, and Mexico for 20 years. Wynalda also has 106 US National Team caps, and is third on the countries all-time scoring list with 34 goals.
