Inter Miami is getting ready for their inaugural season in 2020, and rumors continue to swirl as to who David Beckham will sign to play and who will manage the side. The latest person linked with the managerial role at David Beckham's MLS team, is former Real Madrid coach, Santiago Solari.

Sam Stejskal from The Athletic confirmed talks between Solari and the Florida side, with the Argentine strategist in pole position to become the first ever manager of the club, ahead of names like Carlo Ancelotti or Gennaro Gatusso, who have also been linked.

Solari coached Real Madrid last year for 32 games before Zinedine Zidane returned to salvage a terrible season. He won 22 of those with two draws, and eight defeats.

Santiago Solari is fluent in English, which will come in handy if he finally ends up being appointed as the first manager in Inter Miami's history, and with the initial burst of signings containing several young South Americans, putting a fellow South American in charge would also help them to inegrate into the squad in their quest to win games and fans in their first MLS campaign.
