1. Diego Alonso

First up, we have Diego Alonso, the Uruguayan who pioneered the front line of Inter Miami. Taking the reins on December 30, 2019, Alonso faced a herculean task: turning a newly formed team into a respectable competitor. During his brief tenure, which lasted until January 7, 2021, he led 24 games. With a record of 7 wins, 3 draws, and 14 losses, Alonso’s win rate was just 29.17%. His time in charge was like a sudden storm, intense and devastating. Many wonder if he was a victim of circumstances or lacked the vision needed to solidify the team.

2. Phil Neville

Following Alonso's footsteps, Phil Neville, the former English player, took on the responsibility of leading Inter Miami to new heights. With a promising history as a player and some coaching experience, Neville seemed like the right choice. He led the team from January 18, 2021, to June 1, 2023, amassing 90 games under his belt. During his command, Inter Miami won 35 games, drew 13, and lost 42, resulting in a win rate of 38.89%. Neville brought with him British tenacity but also faced severe criticism. His era was marked by brilliant moments and frustrating setbacks.

3. Javier Morales (interim)

The transition from Neville to Javier Morales was like going from a storm to a restless calm. Morales, the Argentine who took over on an interim basis on June 1, 2023, had an unenviable task: stabilizing the ship in a short period. With only 7 games under his belt, he managed 1 win, 3 draws, and 3 losses, achieving a modest win rate of 14.29%. He was a question mark in Inter Miami’s history, a brief interlude that left more questions than answers.

4. Gerardo Martino

Finally, we come to Gerardo Martino, known as "Tata," who took the helm on July 10, 2023. With a solid reputation and an impressive track record, Martino brought new hope to Inter Miami. By April 12, 2024, he had led the team in 34 games, securing 16 wins, 8 draws, and 10 losses, resulting in an impressive win rate of 47.06%. Under his leadership, Inter Miami began showing signs of a promising future. Martino is like a maestro, harmonizing a symphony of talent and potential.

Each coach brought their own strategies, styles, and philosophies, leaving an indelible mark on the club’s history. From Alonso's pioneering spirit, through Neville’s determination, Morales's cautious transition, to Martino’s renewed hope, Inter Miami’s story is a tapestry woven with sweat, tears, and occasionally, smiles.
