The Giorgos Giakoumakis Celtic Angeball trick that impressed Atlanta United coach 'immediately'

Giorgos Giakoumakis would have learned a thing or two from Ange Postecoglou's style at Celtic.

And that is evident in the early days of his career at Atlanta United according to head coach Gonzalo Pineda despite there being a spanner in the works with the Greek's move. Giakoumakis sealed his exit from Celtic earlier this month after contract talks in Glasgow had stalled and the hitman eventually finalised his move to the MLS after the deadline day had passed in Scotland.

The 28-year-old brought down the curtain on nearly two years in Glasgow that saw many big moments in European and domestic action with 26 goals to his name in green and white despite often being understudy to Kyogo Furuhashi. But Pineda believes that - despite red tape holding up his work visa meaning he won't play until later this month - he has already shown 'passion' that mimics that of his role under Angeball.
