Tata Martino guided Inter Miami to the best regular season in MLS history before being stunned in the first round of the playoffs.
Martino — who was hired in July 2023, right around the time that Lionel Messi debuted for the club — made the decision for personal reasons, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it was not revealed publicly.There are tentative plans for a Friday news conference with Martino and team officials.
Martino agreed to a deal with Inter Miami in June 2023, then debuted with the club the following month once the process of obtaining his work documentation was complete. His hiring was one in a series of major moves for the club — along with the signings of, among others, Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez.
“I want to say to our coach, Tata: thank you very much for an incredible season,” Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham said to Martino in the on-field ceremony after the regular season ended and the Supporters Shield — which was previously clinched — was hoisted again. “Thank you to your staff ... gracias.”
