Former Unión man: ‘Kily’ González set to be Inter Miami boss | OneFootball

Inter Miami is changing course and could soon have a new head coach: Kily González has finalized his arrival at the Herons and will coach Lionel Messi in the U.S. MLS.

The latest string of poor results (four losses and just one draw in their last five matches), the early elimination in the Leagues Cup, and the difficult battle to qualify for the next Concachampions forced the club’s executives to make a sharp turn.

In that regard, they decided to bring Ángel Guillermo Hoyos’ stint to an end (he had taken over on an interim basis in April after Javier Mascherano’s departure): the man chosen to replace him is Kily González.

The iconic former Argentina national team midfielder, 52, reached an agreement with Inter Miami and will be Lionel Messi’s new coach. According to what TyC Sports was told, he would sign a one-year contract.

Kily began his career at Rosario Central, then moved on to Unión de Santa Fe, and his last team was Platense, a club he left in October 2025. Earlier this year, he expressed his hope of coaching Boca following Cláudio Úbeda’s departure.

González will have his first experience abroad, and no less than at Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, which dreams of bouncing back, contending for the MLS title again (they are second in the Eastern Conference, 10 points behind Nashville SC), and securing qualification for the next Concachampions.
