Messi's Inter Miami Appoint New Coach Gonzalez
Inter Miami hope Cristian Gonzalez can steady a struggling squad before the MLS playoffs after a five-game slide prompted the coaching change.
- Inter Miami is replacing interim manager Guillermo Hoyos with former Argentine player Cristian Gonzalez, known as "Kily," according to sports journalist Luis Merlo. The decision comes Thursday as the club prepares for the MLS Playoffs.
- Major League Soccer suspended Hoyos for one match Thursday for violating the Late Kickoff Policy. The club failed to win its last five matches, prompting management to seek a new direction.
- Gonzalez, a former player for Inter Milan and Valencia, shares a history with superstar Lionel Messi. Both were born in Rosario and played together on the Argentina national team during 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
- While Gonzalez has managed Argentine clubs including Rosario Central and Union Santa, his recent stint with Platense lasted only 132 days. Miami officials hope he brings a different approach to improve performance.
- With the MLS Playoffs approaching, the team seeks a turnaround after struggling mightily despite Messi's strong individual play. Gonzalez must stabilize the squad before the postseason begins.
