(Reuters) - Gerardo "Tata" Martino has resigned as head coach of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, according to multiple media reports, after the team suffered a surprise defeat to Atlanta United in Round One of the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Miami looked set to cruise to the championship after a record-breaking 74-point regular season but lost the best-of-three opening round in a shock upset to the ninth seeds Atlanta earlier this month.
