Inter Miami Hires Diego Alonso as Its First Manager
MIAMI (AP) – David Beckham’s new MLS team finally has its first coach, with Inter Miami hiring Diego Alonso.
The Uruguayan, who has coached two different teams to Concacaf Champions League titles, officially took over Monday as the inaugural manager of Beckham’s club. He was an attacker as a player and prefers the same style as a coach.
“We knew we would find a coach that matches our aspirations of trying to be successful right out of the gate,” Inter Miami Sporting Director Paul McDonough said. “What we really like about him is he’s coached at big clubs and he’s won at big tournaments. He’s won at all different levels throughout South America.”
