Cristian “Kily” González Ready to Take the Helm at Inter Miami CF
Cristian “Kily” González is set to officially take charge of Inter Miami CF. After completing the necessary work documentation, the Argentine manager will assume his responsibilities as the Club’s First Team head coach, with a contract running through June 2028.
Today, González carried out his first official training session as Inter Miami head coach ahead of Wednesday's 2026 Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup.
What is the Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup?
The Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup is a one-match, winner-takes-all clash between the reigning MLS Cup champion Inter Miami CF and the reigning LIGA MX champion.
The 2026 edition hosted at our Club’s home presents the eighth edition of the cup. In the past seven Campeones Cup iterations, LIGA MX carries four wins and MLS has claimed three victories. Toluca FC most recently gave LIGA MX the lead following a 3-2 win over the LA Galaxy in 2025.
Previously Against Cruz Azul
The occasion presents the second encounter between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul, with the first-ever meeting being one for the books and one that certainly will be cherished by our Club’s loyal fans forever. Back on July 21, 2023, in the first match of our historic title-winning campaign in the Leagues Cup 2023, captain Messi and former midfielder Sergio Busquets made their Inter Miami debuts as second-half substitutes in the 54th minute to kickstart a new era in Club history. The match was tied at 1-1 when the Argentine maestro stepped up and curled a sublime free kick into the top-left corner to give Inter Miami a dramatic victory in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Scouting Cruz Azul
La Máquina returns to the Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup after six years, falling to the Columbus Crew in 2020. The current LIGA MX champion secured a spot at this year’s edition after earning a 3-1 victory over Toluca FC in the Campeón de Campeones match on July 25 between the 2025 LIGA MX Apertura Champion and the 2026 LIGA MX Clausura Champion.
The Mexico City side sits among the most historic clubs in Mexican fútbol history with 10 league titles, while also sharing the record for most Concacaf Champions Cup titles with seven. Their squad’s core features the likes of goalkeeper Kevin Mier, center back Willer Ditta, midfielder Érik Lira - with Ditta and Lira recently being called up for the FIFA World Cup 2026 by Colombia and Mexico respectively - and forward Gabriel Fernández as one of the team’s main goalscoring threat.
