Inter Miami's Tata Martino Steps Down After Record-Breaking Season

Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who led Inter Miami to a record-breaking season in Major League Soccer, is stepping down as the team's coach for personal reasons. Despite a historic season, Inter Miami was eliminated early from the playoffs. Martino's decision was unexpected, given his recent successes with the team.

Gerardo "Tata" Martino, the tactician behind Inter Miami's unprecedented regular season, is resigning as coach, sources have revealed. Despite leading the team to record-breaking success, including the Leagues Cup and Supporters Shield, Martino has chosen to step down for personal reasons.

Appointed in July 2023, Martino was instrumental in assembling a star-studded roster, featuring the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets. His leadership resulted in Inter Miami's highest-ever points tally in Major League Soccer, but the club was ousted in the playoff's first round.

A news conference is expected to be held on Friday, with Martino and Inter Miami officials addressing the situation. As the club looks to a bustling 2025 season, the search for a successor to continue their momentum is underway.
