MLS club Inter Miami announced the hiring of Cristian 'Kily' González as its new head coach. The decision comes after the team endured a worrying winless streak, leading to the departure of interim head coach Guillermo Hoyos.

González, a former midfielder for the Argentine national team, will have his first experience in international football. His appointment aims to reverse the team's poor performance in the league, especially with a high-profile player like Lionel Messi on the roster.

According to reports, César Luis Merlo was among the first to report the news of Kily González's arrival at the club. His hiring marks a significant change in the team's management, which has struggled to find stability under Hoyos' leadership.

The new coach already has a prior relationship with Lionel Messi, which could help ease his transition into the team. This connection may be crucial for improving the performance of the Rosario star in MLS.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami also announced the signing of a young Brazilian winger, joining the squad and continuing their efforts to strengthen the team on multiple fronts.

The team, known as Las Garzas, seeks to revitalize its strategy and standing in the league as it prepares for a new cycle under González's leadership.
