Former Unión man: ‘Kily’ González to be Inter Miami’s new 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 Major League Soccer in the United States.

The recent run of poor results (four defeats and just one draw in their last five matches), the early elimination from 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 following Javier Mascherano’s departure): the man chosen to replace him is Kily González.

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

Kily began his career at Rosario Central, then went on to Unión de Santa Fe, and his last team was Platense, which he left in October 2025. This year, he expressed his hope of coaching Boca after Cláudio Úbeda’s departure.

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