At 60 (he will turn 61 in November), Gerardo Martino is the second oldest coach currently plying his trade in MLS and arguably the most experienced. His coaching career spans a quarter of a decade and has taken him from clubs in the major leagues in his native South America to Europe.

Tata has also held coaching positions with national teams including Paraguay, Argentina and Mexico, so by the time he landed in South Florida to take the reins of David Beckham’s Inter Miami at the end of June, he had pretty much seen and done it all – including winning the MLS Cup, a feat he achieved with Atlanta United in 2018.

And he’d also previously worked with Lionel Messi, Inter Miami’s star summer signing. The two were together for one season at Barcelona in 2013/14 with the Argentinean coach leaving after the team just missed out on the league. The only trophy Martino and Messsi won during their time together at Camp Nou was the Spanish Super Cup.

First trophy?

Now he is back in charge of Messi and tasked with improving the team’s performances and position in MLS where they are currently bottom of the Eastern Conference with just 18 points from 22 games. However, Messi and Martino could be about to deliver the first piece of silverware to Inter’s trophy room – the team head into this weekend’s Leagues Cup final on the back of six wins from six games with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner scoring in every one of them. Messi is the tournament’s top scorer with nine goals.
