David Beckham is set to appoint former Monterrey boss Diego Alonso as his first manager at Inter Miami after speculation a big name would take over.
A host of high-profile managers were linked with the post as the former Manchester United star looks to get his new team off to a good start when they start their MLS season in February.
Carlo Ancelotti's name had been rumoured after working with Beckham at AC Milan, but the Italian has since joined Everton, while David Moyes and Nice boss Patrick Vieira were also mentioned.
But Beckham is set to unveil the relatively unknown Alonso as his first manager on Monday, according to the Miami Herald.
Alonso was only in charge at Monterrey for one season, but he led the Mexican side to CONCACAF Champions League glory in May - paving the way for them to appear at the Club World Cup this month.
However, the Uruguayan was sacked by the club in September after suffering a poor run of results and replaced by Antonio Mohamed, who led the team into the Club World Cup semi finals against Liverpool, losing 2-1 in stoppage time.
This season was not the only time Alonso has lifted the North American Champions League, having won it with another Mexican side Pachuca in the 2016-17 campaign, having won the nation's top flight division the season before.
His other posts have been in his native Uruguay, including at Olimpia, Penarol and Bella Vista.
Inter Miami's team is finally taking shape years after Beckham launched the ambitious project. Over 20 players have already been signed up to play for the side, and a new stadium is in the process of being built at the Lockhart Stadium site.
The ground will cost around £45million to build and have a capacity of 18,000.
When Beckham signed for LA Galaxy in 2007 he included an option to purchase an MLS expansion team in his contract, and the former England captain has finally realised his dream of becoming an owner in the US top flight.
His project was initially called Miami Beckham United before he revealed the club's official name as Inter Miami CF in September 2018.
