Martino, 61, joined Argentine compatriot Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in July 2023.

And their impact was instant with the club putting together the best regular season in Major League Soccer history with 74 points – one better than New England Revolution in 2021.

But their hopes of winning the MLS Cup ended in a shock first-round exit to Atlanta United and Martino has opted to leave his contract a year early due to personal reasons, according to ESPN.

Miami, who are co-owned by David Beckham, will now begin their search for a new boss, who’ll have a star-studded squad including the likes of Messi, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets at their disposal.

But who are the favourites?

Coral believe that former Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez is the most likely option at odds-on 4/5.

Benitez, 64, is currently a free agent having been sacked at Celta Vigo in March 2024 following a run of five wins from 28 matches, which left his side two points above the relegation zone.

Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers is next at 5/2, ahead of Steve Cherundolo, who is currently in charge at Los Angeles FC where he won the MLS Cup in 2022.

With an influx of former Barcelona legends in the squad, it’s perhaps a surprise to see Xavi Hernandez available at 4/1 given his connections and availability following his departure from the Nou Camp earlier this year.

Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry follow next at 5/1 and 13/2 respectively, while Argentine Under-20s boss Javier Mascherano and Jim Curtin complete the market at 8/1 and 10/1.

“Former Chelsea and Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez tops the betting to replace Gerardo Martinez at Inter Miami. The former Champions League and Europa League winner has attracted strong support over the last 24 hours,” said Coral’s John Hill.

“Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers is also likely to be in contention for the job, according to our odds, as is Xavi, who is sure to get the nod of approval from Lionel Messi,” added Hill.

IT’s hard to stop Daizen Maeda when he builds up a head of steam.

But in a bizarre incident whilst warming up for his national team, it was his own head that ended on the receiving end of an embarrassing gaffe.

The Celtic fan favourite was in action for Japan during the recent international window.

He appeared as a substitute in the 4-0 win over Indonesia last week (as did fellow Celt Reo Hatate) and then came off the bench again in yesterday’s 3-1 victory against China (as did Kyogo Furuhashi).

But it was an awkward moment during his warm-up prior to coming on the park last night that had fans in stitches.

Video footage caught the 27-year-old working on his finishing at half-time with the other subs.

He takes up a position just inside the box and waits for a team mate to cross him the ball – with rather disastrous consequences!

Maeda receives the ball to feet and takes a touch towards the empty goal but he then inexplicably blasts the ball clean off the post from TWO YARDS – and is helpless as the ball ricochets back onto his FACE.

A Japan supporter who filmed the mishap and posted it on social media said: “Dae-ran’s post-hit bullet is too funny lol,” referring to the player’s nickname (given to him due to the amount of running he does).

Maeda saw the clip and responded himself.

“Funny right? I did it on purpose!” he quipped.

With the player seeing the funny side, so did the Japanese fans.

One replied: “Stupidly funny.”

Another remarked: “This made me laugh so hard!”

And a third said: “Be careful on your way back to Glasgow.”

Celtic fans also spotted the video and shared their thoughts.

One laughed: “The most Daizen thing ever!”

A second joked: “Meant it bro, don’t let them say otherwise.”

And finally, this fan said: “Brilliant wee man, never change and never leave.”

Meanwhile, Scotland‘s pot for the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign has been confirmed.

I’M A CELEB fans were left in hysterics after Dean McCullough embarrassingly got a football question wrong during a bushtucker trial.

The latest episode of the hit ITV show featured McCullough’s facing the Sinister Sarcophagus trial to win luxury meals for himself and his campmates.

In order to earn the meals, the Radio One DJ had to answer questions about Egypt while locked in a Sarcophagus – all while it slowly filled up with insects.

In order to earn the meals, the Radio One DJ had to answer questions about Egypt while locked in a Sarcophagus – all while it slowly filled up with insects.

But he couldn’t hack the challenge and shouting, “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” to end it.

Presenters Ant & Dec proceeded to ask the 32-year-old some of the questions he would have faced had he not quit.

And one of the questions was an absolute doozy.

They asked him: “Name the footballer who is originally from Egypt and plays for Liverpool?”

And McCullough showed he’s not a football fan by answering “Jose Mourinho” instead of Mohamed Salah.

Footie fans watching the show had a field day and took to social media to have a chuckle at his response.

Currently, the forward stars in Saudi for Al Hilal, where he is reportedly on £2.5million-per-week.

He’s put up in a mansion in Riyadh, where he lives an exclusive lifestyle, although those details are private.

Over the years, Neymar has amassed an incredible property portfolio.

This includes mansions in Miami, Dubai, and an Island in Brazil.

Take a tour of Neymar’s amazing homes below, starting with his newest addition.

Dubai, £43million

Neymar’s most expensive purchase yet, he has just bought a £43million penthouse in the Bugatti skyscraper in Dubai.

Naturally, there’s a private swimming pool with sweeping views of downtown.

And there’s also no need to step out of your vehicle to rise to your own mansion – thanks to personal elevators that transport your motors to your front door.

Developer Binghatti say the setting “pays homage to the French Riviera”.

A fitness centre and members-only club are included too.

Brazilian Island, £7m

No man is an island, but Neymar owns one now.

It has been reported that he spent £7million on a six-acre tropical hideaway called the Japao Private Island.

The paradise spot is located off the port town of Angra dos Reis in southwest Rio de Janeiro state.

It is situated in a bay that is home to more than 365 islands, and boasts its own incredible beach.

While its grounds feature a main Indonesian-style villa with two master suites and a koi fish pond and three sea-view bungalows.

Brazilian journalist Leo Dias reported that the footballer and well-known Dubai property investor Sheik Muhammad Binghatti paid more than £40,000 to rent the island in a “test drive” operation.

Celebs who have stayed on the island in the past have included Neymar’s ex Bruna Marquezine.

The luxury hideaway, which can accommodate up to 10 guests, can only be reached by boat or helicopter.

The chopper ride from Rio de Janeiro’s International Airport takes around 35 minutes.

Miami, £20million

Back in October, Neymar parted with a hefty sum of £20million for a beachfront plot in Miami.

Immediately, this fuelled speculation of a reunion with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who play their football with Inter Miami.

Found in the gated village of Bal Harbour, the offer includes approved plans for a 13,000-square-foot house designed by the London-based design firm Elicyon.

According to property records, Bent Philipson, founder of Philosophy Care, a consulting firm for skilled-nursing facilities in New York and New Jersey is selling the land to the Brazilian.

However, it could take some time before a home is built.

Mangaratiba, £3million

Neymar splashed the cash on a villa in Mangaratiba – situated an hour’s drive east of Angra dos Reis in the Green Coast – in around 2019.

Built on a two-and-a-half acre plot, the property rests in the exclusive and gated estate called Portobello and was where Sylvester Stallone filmed action movie, The Expendables.

Boasting six bedrooms, the lavish digs has its own helipad, gym, tennis court and jetty.

There’s also plenty of other amenities – like a gym, sauna, massage room, spa and jacuzzi.

If that’s not enough. there’s an underground cellar with space for 3,000 bottles of wine.

But it wasn’t enough for a man of Neymar’s needs, so he recently extended the property.

The football playboy added multiple swimming pools – because one is never enough.

He also added a custom-built go-kart track for kicks, as well as an artificial lake.

Neymar is said to spend much of his free time at the property in Rio de Janeiro with family and friends.

Judging by the pictures, who can blame him?

PLAYSTATION Portal is Sony’s latest take on a handheld console, but it doesn’t work like a Nintendo Switch or PS Vita.

Rather than storing or playing games off the console itself, players stream them from their PS5.

This means that the PS Portal is more like an accessory than a handheld console in its own right.

However, that will be changing soon, as PlayStation is adding new software that will allow Portal players to access games without a PS5.

The new cloud streaming beta is available now (Wednesday, November 20, 2024) for players in Europe, but it’s expected to expand soon to other regions.

Portal’s latest upgrade will allow players to stream games from the cloud, rather than from a console.

Those who want to try out the new tech will need a PS Plus account so they can stream games available on the service.

The other downside is that you will require a stable internet connection in order to play, but you’ll still be able to play outside of your house with fewer steps to set it up.

This means that you still won’t be able to stream games you own without a PS5, but the new software does open up more opportunities for gamers.

PlayStation hasn’t clarified if there will be changes to setting up a PS Portal, which currently requires a PS5 for the initial setup.

However, it is possible to set it up with a friend’s or family member’s PS5 and then use it to exclusively to stream games from the cloud.

This is the next step for Sony in creating a new portable PlayStation console, but we’re not there just yet.

PS, Vita, I Love You

People have been asking for a PS Vita successor for years, but with the launch of the PS Portal, it seemed that PlayStation was leaving the handheld market.

However, the launch of the PS Portal proved hugely successful for PlayStation, which could have led it to reconsider its position.

With the popularity of the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and the Portal, gamers have shown they are as hungry for handheld gaming as ever.

Cloud streaming is a nice compromise, but we’d love to be able to play the games we own portably without the need to connect to the internet.
