Gerardo 'Tata' Martino has been appointed as the new manager of Inter Miami, replacing Phil Neville in the role. At sixty years of age, Martino is no stranger to the managerial role, having begun his career back in 1998. He has taken charge of teams such as Barcelona, Argentina, Newell's Old Boys, Mexico, Paraguay, and Atlanta United, winning the MLS Cup with the latter in 2018.
Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham welcomed the appointment, saying: "Tata is a highly respected figure in our sport whose track record speaks for itself. We are confident that his achievements in the game and experience as a head coach will inspire our team and excite our fans and look forward to seeing the impact he will have on and off the field."
Jorge Mas, Inter Miami's managing owner, added: "We are very happy to be able to welcome Tata to Inter Miami. We feel he is a coach who matches our ambitions as a club and we’re optimistic about what we can accomplish together. Tata has coached at the highest levels and we believe that experience will be hugely beneficial to us as we aim to compete for titles here."
The reunion of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets with Martino will be complete when they are officially unveiled as Inter Miami players in July. There are also rumors of another Barcelona legend joining the MLS side, with Inter Miami reportedly interested in signing Jordi Alba on a free transfer.
