Inter Miami have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian 'Kily' Gonzalez as their new head coach, bringing an end to Guillermo Hoyos' tenure at Chase Stadium. The former Argentina international, who played with Lionel Messi, takes the reins at a critical juncture as the Herons look to snap a disappointing winless streak and solidify their post-season ambitions.
Inter Miami reportedly have a new manager. The Herons are set to hire Kily Gonzalez, a former Argentina international who has coached at three different clubs in the Argentine top flight. He succeeds interim Guillermo Hoyos, who has been in the job since the sacking of MLS Cup winning manager Javier Mascherano shortly after the start of the season.
Neymar continues to see a move to Inter Miami speculated on, which would see him link up with ex-Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but Giuseppe Rossi has explained to GOAL why a ‘MSN’ reunion in South Florida could be a “mistake” for MLS. With ambitious plans being drawn up in the United States, “snail’s pace” progress warnings have been sounded.
Lionel Messi has been fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Soccer following an off-the-ball altercation with Philadelphia Union attacker Quinn Sullivan. The disciplinary action comes as an independent review panel unanimously rescinded the stoppage-time red card shown to 16-year-old Manchester City signee Cavan Sullivan during the fiery 2-2 draw.
