This month, Neville’s old Manchester United teammate David Beckham and the club he co-owns fired him.
Martino will now be reunited with his countryman Messi, who will formally join the team headquartered in Florida when his contract with PSG expires this month.
In a statement released by the club, Martino, who worked with Messi while he was a player for Barcelona and Argentina, said: “I’m very happy to join a big club like Inter Miami, and I know together we can do many great things.

The club has the infrastructure needed to be a serious contender in the area, and I am confident that we can get there with everyone’s dedication and hard work.
