Messi handed another Argentinian as coach at Inter Miami
Lionel Messi's new coach at Inter Miami will again be a fellow Argentinian. Former Argentina international Cristian González, known as "Kily," is to succeed Javier Mascherano, who stepped down in April, the club said late on Thursday.
Inter Miami has appointed another Argentinian to lead the team as their new coach. Former international player Cristian González, also known as Kily, will replace Javier Mascherano who resigned in April. Guillermo Hoyos acted as interim coach, but was banned by Major League Soccer for a one-match ban due to the team's late arrival on the pitch.
González, 52, has recently managed Club Atlético Platense in Argentina and is set to lead Inter Miami, who currently sit second in the Eastern Conference. The team has not won any of their last five competitive matches and last won in Major League Soccer on July 25, a 1-0 victory against Montreal. Lionel Messi, widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time, is expected to conclude his career at Inter Miami, with his contract running until 2028 which is also the date of the next Copa América.
