Mexico midfielder Pizarro joins Inter Miami
MIAMI, Feb 18, 2020 (AFP) – Inter Miami confirmed the signing of Mexico
international midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro on Monday as the club prepares for
its inaugural season in Major League Soccer.
Pizarro, 26, joins Miami after a successful two-year stint with Liga MX
side Monterrey which included a domestic title in 2019 as well as the
CONCACAF Champions League crown.
“We’re very happy to have a player of Rodolfo’s quality join the club,”
Inter Miami sporting director Paul McDonough said.
“He is a creative midfielder who strengthens our roster and elevates
everyone’s quality on the field.”
Pizarro’s move sees him reunited with Miami head coach Diego Alonso. The
midfielder played for Alonso during stints at Monterrey and Pachuca in
Mexico.
At international level Pizarro has made 25 appearances for Mexico since
making his debut as a teenager in 2014.
Inter Miami, who are part-owned by English football icon David Beckham,
make their MLS debut away to Los Angeles FC on March 1.
