Inter Miami is set for a major shift in its technical direction following the departure of head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino. As reported by journalist Tom Bogert and later confirmed by AS USA Latino, the Argentine manager has decided to step down from his role after a year and a half with the club. While an official statement from the organization is pending, sources close to the situation attribute the decision to personal reasons.
A press conference scheduled for Friday at the club’s facilities will make Martino’s resignation official. He will appear alongside Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Más to elaborate on his reasons for leaving and outline the next steps for both himself and the team. The announcement comes after a season marked by significant highs and lows for the MLS franchise.
Martino’s decision to leave Inter Miami follows a mixed tenure with the club. Under his leadership, the team won the Leagues Cup 2023 and benefited from the high-profile arrivals of Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. However, the squad’s early exit from the MLS playoffs highlighted areas for improvement. According to sources, Martino’s departure was not influenced by disputes with the club or dissatisfaction with results but was instead prompted by personal considerations.
Speculation about his next move includes a possible return to coaching in Mexico. The Liga MX club Necaxa, backed by Red Bull Bragantino’s financial resources, has been named as a potential destination for the veteran coach. However, no formal agreement has been confirmed.
The departure of Tata Martino leaves Inter Miami at a crossroads. The club must now find a replacement capable of continuing its ambitious project, which aims to position the team as a dominant force in MLS and international competitions. While no names have been floated as potential successors, the urgency to restructure the coaching staff is evident with the 2025 season on the horizon.
