Inter Miami Appoint Diego Alonso as Head Coach
Diego Alonso has been named as Inter Miami's first ever coach ahead of the club's inaugural MLS season.
Inter Miami has announced the appointment of former Monterrey, Penarol and Pachuca coach Diego Alonso.
Inter - co-owned by former England captain David Beckham - will enter MLS in 2020 and have already made a host of signings, including Designated Player Matias Pellegrini, but had been without a coach until Monday.
The Uruguayan will take charge of the first team ahead of its inaugural MLS season, which kicks off with a tricky away fixture on March 1, 2020 against Los Angeles FC.
The 44-year-old led both Pachuca (2016) and Monterrey (2019) to CONCACAF Champions League glory, becoming the only manager to win the tournament with two different clubs.
He also won the 2016 Clausura in Liga MX with Pachuca.
“In Diego we found a manager that fits our culture and has a strong desire to build a winning club for our fans," said Inter Miami's Sporting Director Paul McDonough in a club statement.
