According to well-known journalist Dimazio, Uric became the most likely candidate to coach Atlanta.
Dimazio wrote on his official website: "On the morning of June 6 local time, the Atlanta Club will make a final decision on the next head coach. In recent hours of discussion, Mota and Uric became the last contenders, and at present, Uric is closest to this position."
"The club hopes to continue the unique style and identity that Gasperini has brought to the team over the past nine years. Therefore, Uric has become the most likely candidate. It is expected that in the next few hours, or rather, on Friday, June 6, the club will announce the final decision."
