Overview
- Inter Miami announced on Thursday that it has reached an agreement with Cristian 'Kily' González and that Guillermo Hoyos will remain provisionally in charge until González receives the required U.S. work permits.
- Major League Soccer suspended and fined interim coach Guillermo Hoyos for repeated late kickoffs and Hoyos served a one-game ban on Saturday, leaving assistants to run the matchday touchline.
- The coaching change follows a five-match winless stretch that included an early Leagues Cup exit and has left Miami second in the Eastern Conference and 10 points behind leaders Nashville.
- González is a 52-year-old former Argentina international who earned 56 caps, played in Europe with Valencia and Inter Milan, and has managed Rosario Central, Unión de Santa Fe and Platense in Argentina.
- The club says Hoyos is expected to return to his previous youth-development role once González and his staff arrive and the timing of the work-permit process will determine how quickly the new coach can make tactical changes that affect Miami's playoff push.
