  • Inter Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos has been suspended for one game by Major League Soccer (MLS) for the team's repeated delays in starting matches.
  • The league also imposed undisclosed fines on Hoyos and the club for violating the rule requiring teams to be on the field and ready to play at the scheduled start time.
  • The suspension comes as Inter Miami faces a crisis of results, with four losses and one draw in their last five matches across MLS and the Leagues Cup.

Inter Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos has received a one-match suspension from Major League Soccer (MLS) for the team's persistent tardiness in taking the field. The league announced the sanction on Thursday, also confirming undisclosed fines for both Hoyos and the club.

The MLS rulebook stipulates that all clubs must be on the field and prepared to play at the scheduled start of both halves. The league stated that repeated violations by MLS clubs and head coaches can lead to escalating fines and suspensions.

Hoyos, 63, will serve his ban during the upcoming match against CF Montreal. This suspension occurs amidst a difficult period for Inter Miami, as the team's performance has been in a slump. In their last five games across MLS and the Leagues Cup, the team has recorded four losses and a single draw.

The team's struggles have put Hoyos's future in question. Inter Miami currently trails the Eastern Conference leader, Nashville, by 10 points with 13 regular-season games remaining. Hoyos took over as head coach in April following the sudden resignation of Javier Mascherano.

MLS clubs and head coaches are subject to escalating fines and suspension of the head coach for repeated violations.
