Inter Miami hired Argentine manager, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, to lead the club to glory and lift MLS Cup with players like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez in his star-studded squad. After all, he did just that in his first stint in MLS back in 2018 with expansion side Atlanta United.

Inter Miami’s coach, Gerardo “Tata” Martino, admitted that the team’s 2024 season, led by Lionel Messi, ended in disappointment after their surprising exit against Atlanta United in the first round of the MLS playoffs.

With the loss, a season full of promise and championship expectations for Inter Miami has come to an end, and it will ultimately go down as a season where the club wasted a year of having Messi at their disposal. After the game, head coach Gerardo Martino kept it real when discussing Messi's future with the team.
