Struggling Inter Miami hire Kily González as new head coach
The Guardian • • sports
Key Points:
- Inter Miami has appointed former Argentina international Cristian “Kily” González as their new head coach, ending interim manager Guillermo Hoyos' tenure.
- Hoyos, who took over after Javier Mascherano's resignation in April, was recently suspended for one game due to the club's repeated late kickoff violations.
- The club has struggled since the MLS World Cup break, winning only three of nine games and currently enduring a five-match winless streak, despite Lionel Messi's return.
- González, from Messi’s hometown Rosario, has limited direct history with Messi and a managerial record featuring more losses than wins, with a 32.5% career win rate across Argentine clubs.
- It remains unclear whether Hoyos will continue with Inter Miami in any capacity following his interim coaching stint.
