Martino exits Miami for personal reasons

Gerardo 'Tata' Martino has left his post as head coach of Inter Miami CF, sources tell ESPN, leaving the club for personal reasons despite having a year remaining on his contract.

The former Barcelona and Mexico coach will address the media in a final news conference on Friday, Nov. 22, alongside co-owner Jorge Mas and president of football operations Raúl Sanllehi.

Martino is set to depart just weeks after Inter Miami was eliminated from the first round of the MLS playoffs after falling to No. 9 seed Atlanta United FC in the best-of-three series.

The Argentine coach joined Inter Miami in June of 2023, taking over for former manager Phil Neville. In just over a year and a half, he led Miami to the 2023 Leagues Cup trophy, the 2024 Supporters' Shield and set the league record for most points recorded in a single season during the 2024 campaign.

Despite seeing success during the regular season, Inter Miami struggled in the Concacaf Champions Cup, losing to Monterrey in the quarterfinals, and exited the 2024 Leagues Cup in the round of 16.
