Overview
- Inter Miami named Argentine Cristian 'Kily' González as its new head coach on Friday, replacing interim coach Guillermo Hoyos.
- González cannot take over matchday duties until he obtains a U.S. work permit, so Hoyos will remain interim for now.
- Hoyos will miss the upcoming Montréal game after Major League Soccer handed him a one-match suspension and fine for repeated late returns from halftime.
- Miami has slipped into poor form, losing four of five recent league games and falling about ten points behind Nashville SC in the Eastern Conference.
- González, 52, is a former European pro who earned 56 caps for Argentina and has managed clubs in Argentina since 2020 most recently at Platense, and the club hopes his Argentine ties to players like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez will ease the transition.
