Africa-Press – Eritrea. Former Barcelona boss Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino will reunite with Lionel Messi after being appointed as the new manager of Inter Miami. Martino, 60, replaces ex-Manchester United defender Phil Neville, who was sacked on June 1.
The Argentine has been out of work since leaving Mexico after their exit at the 2022 World Cup group stage. “Tata is a highly respected figure in our sport whose track record speaks for itself,” said co-owner David Beckham.
The club said Martino “will assume coaching responsibilities upon the receipt of his work documentation”. Messi, 36, agreed a deal upon his exit from Paris St-Germain on June 7.
It will be a third time that seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi and Martino have worked together. The pair have previously collaborated at Barcelona and with the Argentina national team.
Martino has experience in the United States and led Atlanta United to MLS Cup glory in 2018 during a two-year stay. Inter Miami sit bottom of the MLS standings with 13 losses from 18 fixtures in 2023 and Javier Morales has been in temporary charge since Neville’s departure.
