Inter Miami CF are set to keep Guillermo Hoyos as head coach after Major League Soccer's World Cup break, giving the club continuity after a strong eight-match start under the Argentine coach.
Guillermo Hoyos Set To Continue At Inter Miami
ESPN reported, citing sources, that Hoyos will remain in charge when Inter Miami return from the MLS break. The decision was communicated to him a couple of weeks before the report, with the front office giving him its support.
Hoyos moved into the role in April after replacing Javier Mascherano. He had been Inter Miami's sporting director before taking over the bench, which made the change an internal move rather than a search for an outside reset.
The timing matters because Inter Miami had been linked in recent days with former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. ESPN's sources said the club had not contacted or expressed interest in other managerial candidates.
Inter Miami Results Back Coaching Decision
The case for keeping Hoyos is built on results. ESPN listed his record after taking charge at 6 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw, good for 19 of 24 available points.
Inter Miami also scored 26 goals across those eight matches. According to the report, that gave Hoyos the most successful start by an Inter Miami coach through eight games since the club entered MLS in 2020.
Those numbers do not settle the whole season, but they do explain why the club would prefer stability through the break. Inter Miami have enough attention around them without turning the coaching position into another open question.
Hoyos Brings Familiarity To MLS Restart
Hoyos has existing relationships inside the squad. ESPN noted that he worked with Lionel Messi at Barcelona's La Masia academy more than 20 years ago, and he has also coached and served as a sporting director in leagues around the world, including Liga MX.
The next MLS checkpoint is already set. Inter Miami's first game after the World Cup break is scheduled for July 22 at home against Chicago Fire.
For Miami, the decision keeps the immediate job clear: carry a productive spring into the MLS restart, keep the attacking rhythm that produced 26 goals in eight matches, and let Hoyos prove that the strong opening was more than a caretaker bounce.
