Inter Miami CF<\/a> have named Cristian ‘Kily’ Gonz\u00e1lez as their new head coach, the club announced Thursday\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old former Argentine international officially replaces his ex-Albiceleste teammate Javier Mascherano<\/a>, who departed the club in April.<\/p>\n

The Herons had been led by Guillermo Hoyos, who will remain charge of the team until the arrival of the new head coach and his coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Gonz\u00e1lez joins Miami with a half-decade of coaching experience in his native Argentina, most recently with Club Atl\u00e9tico Platense during the 2025 Primera Divisi\u00f3n season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He began his first-team managerial career at boyhood club Rosario Central (2020-22) before taking the reins at Uni\u00f3n Santa Fe between 2023-25.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a player, Gonz\u00e1lez starred for the likes of Rosario Central, Boca Juniors, Real Zaragoza, Valencia and Inter Milan. He represented Argentina at the 2002 FIFA World Cup<\/a> and helped his country win gold at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gonz\u00e1lez takes over a Miami side led by Argentina legend Lionel Messi and an A-list supporting cast highlighted by fellow global superstars Luis Su\u00e1rez<\/a>, Rodrigo De Paul<\/a> and Casemiro<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since Messi’s summer 2023 arrival, the Herons have won three titles: Leagues Cup<\/a> 2023, the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup 2025 presented by Audi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first-ever back-to-back Landon Donovan MLS MVP (2024, ’25), Messi has 14g\/9a this season while also guiding Argentina, along with De Paul, to the 2026 World Cup final.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami are second in the Eastern Conference with 39 points. They’re looking to become the first repeat MLS Cup champions since the LA Galaxy<\/a> in 2011-12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inter Miami CF have named Cristian ‘Kily’ Gonz\u00e1lez as their new head coach, the club announced Thursday\u00a0 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[5429,10370,123,125,124,4959],"class_list":["post-383271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-inter-miami-cf","tag-league-club-news","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-sendtonews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
