Inter Miami CF Sporting Director Paul McDonough said this about the hire, via the team’s web site.
A well-traveled striker during his playing days, Alonso was capped eight times.
Alonso will have some interesting ingredients for his first team. There’s plenty of MLS experience in goalkeeper Luis Robles, defenders Roman Torres and Alvas Powell, and forward Juan Agudelo.
Teenage playmaker Matias Pellegrini is the club’s first Designated Player, and more are sure to come in January. Pedro has been most recently linked, joining a long list of names connected to David Beckham’s long-awaited MLS project.
