  "account": "Lionel Messi's Inter Miami has appointed his Argentine teammate Cristian \"Kily\" Gonzalez as the new head coach of the Major League Soccer champions, in a bid to break the team's recent losing streak. Gonzalez, a local favorite from Messi's hometown of Rosario, will be tasked with reviving Inter Miami's poor performance following the World Cup. The interim manager Guillermo Hoyos will continue in his position until Gonzalez's US work permit is processed. Gonzalez, 52, has a distinguished playing career with European giants like Inter Milan, Valencia, and Zaragoza, as well as 56 caps for Argentina between 1995 and 2005. He transitioned into management in 2020, leading various Argentine club sides before joining Inter Miami. The team, the current MLS Cup holders, have struggled since the mid-season World Cup break, losing four of their last five games while remaining second in the Eastern Conference. Hoyos, who received a one-game ban for violating league rules, received praise from the club for his dedication during this transitional period.",
