This unexpected departure comes after a disappointing end to a promising season for the Major League Soccer club, which boasted the star power of Lionel Messi and other renowned players. Martino's exit follows Inter Miami's shocking first-round playoff loss to Atlanta United, despite finishing the regular season atop the Eastern Conference with a league-record 74 points.
