With the extension Wednesday of the team training moratorium across MLS, players are having to get creative as they look to stay fit. “I don’t have weights at home,” said Inter Miami CF goalkeeper Luis Robles during a conference call on Wednesday. “One of the examples that have been used for strength training is filling up a gallon-sized milk jug. So I use that for some of the exercises and it is a creative way to do the training." While the players have been physically isolated, Robles' teamm

With virtually every sporting league and competition, including most recently the Olympic Games, on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak, sports figures around the globe have been learning to handle the unprecedented unfolding of events on the fly. The same applies to Inter Miami CF head coach Diego Alonso, who was just two games into a new job in a new country when Major League Soccer suspended play earlier this month. “No doubt, at a professional and athletic level, this is an obstacle,” Alon

Like millions of Americans, Luis Robles has been largely confined to his home, unable to carry out his day job — in his case keeping the ball out of the net for expansion MLS side Inter Miami CF —since the coronavirus pandemic began taking its toll on communities across the United States. But the 35-year-old, who has spent 13 years traveling far and wide as a professional, is trying to focus on the positives and getting to enjoy some rare extended family time. “I have been able to spend a lot o

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — In the wake of MLS suspending its season for 30 days due to concerns surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus), Inter Miami CF owner Jorge Mas and Sporting Director Paul McDonough shared their perspective on the enforced delay of their home opener at the new Inter Miami CF stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

Just three months after leaving LAFC, Lee Nguyen is preparing to face off against the 2019 Supporters Shield winners in the colors of expansion side Inter Miami. But if recent transfer speculation is to be believed the 33-year-old's time in South Beach may not last very long. Last week local reports in Vietnam quoted an unnamed source from Ho Chi Minh City FC claiming that they were in discussions over a deal that would offer Nguyen a salary in excess of $400,000 salary to take him back to Viet

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Just five days away from their debut in MLS at the home of the 2019 Supporters' Shield winners LAFC, Inter Miami showcased the club's star power as co-owners David Beckham and Jorge Mas dropped in to give the latest on the team's preparations in Fort Lauderdale.

MIAMI — As Diego Alonso was unveiled as Inter Miami CF's first head coach on Wednesday, the club’s front office will be the first to admit that there are still plenty of questions when it comes to their roster. "We’re very happy with the squad so far," said sporting director Paul McDonough. "It’s no mistake that there is an equal amount of experience and youth in the team. The guys get along very well, so that’s good. The coaching style has been welcomed, which is good but we are well aware tha

MIAMI — Just hours after Inter Miami CF's third-ever practice as an MLS franchise, Diego Alonso was officially presented as the expansion club’s first head coach alongside Managing Owner Jorge Mas and Sporting Director Paul McDonough.
