&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger&quot;&gt;Ben Roethlisberger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the iconic quarterback who spent 18 seasons with the &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/strong&gt;, becoming one of the most beloved players among fans, has amassed an impressive fortune since his retirement in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Known as “&lt;strong&gt;Big Ben&lt;/strong&gt;“, the star holds a considerable sum in the bank, the result of his successful career that includes two &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; championships, six Pro Bowl selections and a series of lucrative contracts.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; contracts, his ability to strike deals with major brands like &lt;strong&gt;Nike&lt;/strong&gt; has kept him at the top, earning millions annually from sponsorships alone. Since retiring, he has continued to enjoy the fruits of his success.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What is Ben Roethlisberger’s net worth?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ben Roethlisberger&lt;/strong&gt;, the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt; quarterback, has an estimated &lt;strong&gt;net worth of $100 million&lt;/strong&gt; as of November 2024. His annual salary is $23 million, according to sources like Sportskeeda and Marca.&lt;/p&gt;

(Source: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;His fortune primarily comes from his 18 seasons in the NFL, during which he &lt;strong&gt;earned over $267 million in contracts&lt;/strong&gt;. His highest single-season salary was $40 million in 2019, marking a truly remarkable achievement in his career. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Additionally, he has generated &lt;strong&gt;substantial income through endorsement deals&lt;/strong&gt; with brands like Nike, Sprint, Panini, Fanatics and Upper Deck, earning between &lt;strong&gt;$1 million and $3 million annually&lt;/strong&gt;, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Like other high-profile athletes, Roethlisberger has successfully diversified his income sources beyond his NFL salary, becoming a significant figure with a notable presence outside the field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2021 | $14 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2020 | $26 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2019 | $40 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2018 | $17 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2017 | $12 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2016 | $17.8 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2015 | $35.3 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2014 | $12.1 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2013 | $11.6 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2012 | $11.6 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2011 | $11.6 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2010 | $6.2 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2009 | $7.8 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2008 | $27.7 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2007 | $1.6 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2006 | $3 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2005 | $9.9 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2004 | $2.3 million&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Ben Roethlisberger’s real estate holdings&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ben Roethlisberger has &lt;strong&gt;owned several impressive properties&lt;/strong&gt; throughout his career. One of his standout homes is a property in Clinton, Pennsylvania, which he &lt;strong&gt;listed for sale in 2023 for $2.9 million&lt;/strong&gt;, as Celebrity Net Worth reported.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The estate spans 148 acres and features a large home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Key features include a spacious living room, a modern kitchen, a family room, a game room and a large wine cellar.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The exterior is just as impressive, with a huge backyard that includes a shooting range, three ponds (one stocked with fish), a chicken coop, a woodshop, and plenty of green space filled with lush vegetation.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This type of property reflects Roethlisberger’s laid-back lifestyle after his retirement, providing him with a perfect space to enjoy the outdoors and relax, according to Clutch Points and Crazy Luxury Homes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/strong&gt;‘ unbeaten run in the 2024 &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; season was snapped by the &lt;strong&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/strong&gt; in Week 11. While &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-makes-his-feelings-clear-after-bills-end-chiefs-undefeated-streak&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andy Reid&lt;/strong&gt; made it clear he doesn’t feel upset about the end of the Chiefs’ undefeated streak&lt;/a&gt;, the coach does believe this loss &lt;strong&gt;should hurt for the rookies&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Speaking to reporters in his weekly press conference via Zoom on Monday, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Chiefs&lt;/a&gt; head coach &lt;strong&gt;had a special message particularly directed at the young players&lt;/strong&gt;, explaining that this kind of loss against another Super Bowl contender should serve as a lesson for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;You have to dig in, man. &lt;strong&gt;These things – these should hurt&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid&quot;&gt;Reid&lt;/a&gt; said, via &lt;em&gt;ChiefsWire. You spend a lot of time and preparation for these games and effort and so you have to reach inside as coaches and players, not just players here. &lt;strong&gt;You have to figure out the problems and then work to solve them&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Chiefs stayed in the game until late, but &lt;strong&gt;spent the entire contest playing catch-up&lt;/strong&gt; against a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills&quot;&gt;Bills&lt;/a&gt; team that ended up taking a nine-point lead thanks to a 26-yard rushing touchdown by Josh Allen with less than two minutes remaining.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Reid warns Chiefs players not to relax&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Reid is confident his team will work hard to bounce back, &lt;strong&gt;yet he made sure to let his players know&lt;/strong&gt; what kind of mindset he expects in the building from now on, as the franchise eyes the first three-peat in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; history.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-travis-kelce-issues-strong-warning-to-josh-allen-bills-with-clear-message-to-chiefs-teammates&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;I know I have that kind of locker room, so I know the guys will do that. I know the coaches will do that, too, &lt;strong&gt;but you can’t just say everything’s going to be okay. That’s not how this works&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Reid said&lt;em&gt;. “You have to dig in, and it has to be – there has to be some – you have to check the ego at the door and do some self-evaluation there.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Reid has a special message for Chiefs’ rookie LT&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;One of the rookies &lt;strong&gt;who has been struggling the most&lt;/strong&gt; in Kansas City is Kingsley Suamataia, who lost the starting job at left tackle after only two weeks of the 2024 NFL season.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-sends-clear-message-to-kareem-hunt-isiah-pacheco-about-chiefs-rb-position&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Suamataia has dropped down Reid’s pecking order ever since, up to the point he &lt;strong&gt;wasn’t even activated&lt;/strong&gt; for the Bills game on Sunday. The Chiefs head coach, however, &lt;strong&gt;had encouraging words&lt;/strong&gt; for the rookie.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kingsley will be OK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Reid said. “&lt;em&gt;It’s just, sometimes you have to take a step back to take a step forward and that’s what we felt we needed to do there. &lt;strong&gt;We’ll go from there and just see how things work out here as he continues to work forward&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The debate over who is the greatest basketball player of all time (GOAT)—&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan&quot;&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;or &lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;—has fascinated &lt;strong&gt;NBA&lt;/strong&gt; fans and pundits for decades. Recently, &lt;strong&gt;Sacramento Kings&lt;/strong&gt; star &lt;strong&gt;De’Aaron Fox &lt;/strong&gt;joined the conversation, making his position clear.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;When analyzing this debate, it’s essential to consider the context in which fans and players grew up. Those&lt;strong&gt; who watched Michael Jordan dominate during his prime often favor him&lt;/strong&gt;, while younger generations, &lt;strong&gt;who have witnessed &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james&quot;&gt;LeBron James&lt;/a&gt;‘ consistent greatness throughout his career&lt;/strong&gt;, tend to side with “The King.”&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Additionally, &lt;strong&gt;the playing styles of these two legends differ significantly&lt;/strong&gt;. Jordan was an explosive scorer and an elite defender, while LeBron is a more versatile player, capable of excelling in every aspect of the game.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In an interview with &lt;em&gt;HoopsHype&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deaaron-fox&quot;&gt;De’Aaron Fox&lt;/a&gt; declared LeBron James as his choice for the &lt;strong&gt;GOAT&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;em&gt;“What MJ did in 15 years is crazy,”&lt;/em&gt; Fox said. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“But what LeBron’s done in his career and is still doing is nuts. I would say Bron. I didn’t watch Michael Jordan play, so I’m not going to pick somebody I didn’t watch play.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;572&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241121_BUS_277181_DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-1024x572_c3adde8d.webp&amp;amp;width=1024&amp;amp;height=572&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-277302&quot; srcset=&quot;https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-1536x858.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/DeAaron-Fox-LeBron-James.jpg 1920w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&amp;nbsp;De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings is drafted by Team LeBron James prior to the 2023 NBA All Star Game between Team Giannis and Team LeBron at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Longevity gives LeBron the edge for Fox&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;One of the key reasons Fox leans toward LeBron is his longevity. While Jordan’s career was undeniably brilliant, &lt;strong&gt;LeBron has showcased consistency &lt;/strong&gt;and dominance for over two decades, an unprecedented feat in NBA history.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nba/former-nba-champion-gets-brutally-honest-on-stephen-curry-among-jordan-and-lebron-in-goat-debate&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;The role of eras in the GOAT debate&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Another crucial factor in this discussion is &lt;strong&gt;the era in which&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;each player competed&lt;/strong&gt;. Basketball has evolved dramatically over the years, with changes to rules, playing style, and strategic emphasis. Jordan thrived in a more physical, mid-range-oriented era, while LeBron has adapted to a faster-paced game with a heavy focus on 3-point shooting.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite these differences,&lt;strong&gt; both players have left an indelible legacy in the NBA&lt;/strong&gt;. They are universally regarded as two of the greatest players to ever step on the court.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;A debate that will last for generations&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The debate over the GOAT will undoubtedly continue for years to come. However, &lt;strong&gt;De’Aaron Fox’s opinion highlights how new generations of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; fans approach this timeless question.&lt;/strong&gt; While perspectives may vary, one thing is certain: both Michael Jordan and LeBron James have redefined greatness in their own ways.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Justin Tucker&lt;/strong&gt; missed two field goals for the Baltimore Ravens in a tough 18-16 loss against the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. When Lamar Jackson and his offense were gaining momentum in the first half, the legendary kicker couldn’t deliver.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although the star player came back later and converted a 54-yard attempt, those points left behind were the difference in the final score and the Ravens might have missed their biggest chance to claim the &lt;strong&gt;AFC North&lt;/strong&gt; and home field advantage in the road to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, not everything is lost. Baltimore should get at least a wild card spot in the playoffs and, considering their roster, no one can discard them as a contender to dethrone &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How many missed field goals does Justin Tucker have?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Justin Tucker&lt;/strong&gt; has missed six field goals in the 2024 season and that’s currently the second highest number in the NFL. &lt;strong&gt;Younghoe Koo&lt;/strong&gt; of the Atlanta Falcons is in first place with seven failed attempts.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;To make things worse, Tucker no longer holds one of his most impressive accolades. Thanks to the problems at Pittsburgh, Justin lost the top spot as the most accurate kicker in NFL history to &lt;strong&gt;Eddy Pineiro&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-mike-tomlin-sends-strong-warning-about-justin-fields-and-his-role-with-steelers-after-win-against-ravens&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Believe me when I say nobody takes it more personally than I do. Nobody is more affected than me when I miss the kick. I take it really personally. So, as difficult as that may be at times, that is the challenge that I’m facing right now. That’s my only option. Just continue to work and focus on the action, focus on the process and let the results take care of themselves after just putting in the work.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Will Ravens replace Justin Tucker?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Harbaugh&lt;/strong&gt; already confirmed that &lt;strong&gt;Justin Tucker&lt;/strong&gt; will remain the starting kicker of the &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Raven&lt;/strong&gt;s. The veteran knows he has to improve as special teams will be a key factor toward the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/lamar-jackson-net-worth&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I do appreciate that confidence from John. It’s something that I will be making it a point to reward. I’m mentally really good. I appreciate you checking in, but it’s also kind of unimportant how I feel. What is important is how I perform. I really do feel that way.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Detroit Lions&lt;/strong&gt; lead the NFC North and maintain a high level in the 2024 &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; season, but it is always a good time to raise the bar in the fight to play in the &lt;strong&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/strong&gt;. That’s what &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff&quot;&gt;Jared Goff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; said in his pregame remarks before Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; Week 11, the Lions thrashed the Jacksonville Jaguars 52-6, with Goff passing for four touchdowns. &lt;strong&gt;However, the Detroit quarterback knows that there is still much more to offer&lt;/strong&gt;, and at the same time, he can set an even higher objective for the rest of the season, which has already surpassed its halfway point.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It seems hard to demand better results with a &lt;strong&gt;9-1 record and an eight-game winning streak&lt;/strong&gt;. As if that weren’t enough, the Lions have the league’s best offense and fourth-best defense. Needless to say, Goff’s words are focused on an implicit goal: &lt;strong&gt;winning the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Goff’s demanding statements to the Lions&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We know what our potential can be. &lt;strong&gt;So it becomes a waste if you’re not trying to reach for perfection, strive for that&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s really never attainable what you are going for but we got a group of guys that are so dang talented and are such hard workers and want that greatness,”&lt;/em&gt; Goff firmly warned in an interview with the Detroit Free Press.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Lions lead the NFL in points scored&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The 52 points scored in the big win over the Jaguars left Detroit as the league’s leading team in points scored, with 336. &lt;strong&gt;At the same time, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions&quot;&gt;Lions&lt;/a&gt; average 32.3 points per game and have the fifth-best mark in the last 25 seasons.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;How many Super Bowls have the Detroit Lions played?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lions have never been to a Super Bowl in their history&lt;/strong&gt;, so this season is a great opportunity for them to do so for the first time. The final game of the NFL season will be played at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, 9 February, 2025, and Goff wants to be there no matter what.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Lions look to continue making history&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Detroit franchise has four NFL titles won in the pre-Super Bowl era, winning the last one in 1957. &lt;strong&gt;In last season’s playoffs, the Lions reached a conference final after 67 years&lt;/strong&gt;, having won the division title after two decades. This season looks to be the ideal time to continue their quest to write great history.&lt;/p&gt;

The ripple effects of Inter Miami‘s early playoff exit are still being felt in Fort Lauderdale. Despite having one year left on his contract, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-lionel-messis-inter-miami-face-major-setback-gerardo-martino-steps-down-as-head-coach">Gerardo Martino decided to leave his role as head coach of the Herons</a>. His departure came as a surprise, given the strides Lionel Messi‘s team made during the regular season under his leadership. However, the disappointment was compounded this Wednesday when he received bad news from the MLS.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gerardo-martino">Martino</a> earned a nomination for the MLS Coach of the Year award following an exceptional 2024 regular season with Inter Miami. Under his leadership, the team dominated the Eastern Conference, setting a record points total and claiming the Supporters’ Shield. However, when the league announced the voting results on Wednesday, ‘Tata’ fell short of securing the honor.



The 2024 Coach of the Year award went to Wilfried Nancy, who impressed voters with his outstanding work at Columbus Crew. Nancy’s team finished second in the Eastern Conference standings, trailing Inter Miami by eight points, before being eliminated in the Round of 16 on penalties against the New York Red Bulls.



What stands out is the breakdown of the voting results. The voting system is split into three groups: media analysts, club officials, and players. While Martino and Nancy were nearly tied in the media and club official votes, the players overwhelmingly favored the Columbus Crew manager. This decisive player support ultimately swung the outcome in his favor.

<h2>A new coach for Messi</h2>



Martino’s unexpected departure has sparked speculation about his replacement. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> at the center of the Herons’ strategy, it’s clear that finding a coach who aligns with Leo’s preferences will be a top priority.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>’s recent decisions, including the signings of former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suarez, have centered on making Messi feel at home. It’s logical to assume that the search for a new coach will follow a similar approach, ensuring the team remains built around its global superstar.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/usmnt-legend-calls-out-lionel-messis-attitude-after-inter-miamis-playoffs-loss"></div>

 


<h2>Who could be Inter Miami’s new coach?</h2>



Two names have quickly emerged as leading contenders to replace Martino: Xavi Hernandez and Javier Mascherano. Both share deep connections with Messi, stemming from their years at Barcelona.



According to the Miami Herald, Xavi, who recently ended his tenure as Barcelona’s coach, and Mascherano, currently in charge of Argentina’s U-20 team, are strong candidates. Their shared history with Messi and understanding of his playing style make them natural fits for the role.



With David Beckham and Inter Miami’s executives eager to finalize their decision, the focus now shifts to planning for a challenging 2025 season. The Herons will compete in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a>, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup, making the choice of coach even more critical.

Despite a dominant performance during the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> regular season, Inter Miami faltered in the playoffs, suffering a first-round elimination against Atlanta United. Now, in a surprising turn of events, Gerardo Martino has reportedly decided to step down as head coach, a move that will undoubtedly impact Lionel Messi and his teammates heading into the 2025 season.



According to MLS insider Tom Bogert of GiveMeSport, Martino cited personal reasons for his departure, leaving a void at the helm of a team that had high hopes for continued success in the upcoming season. In fact, the Argentine head coach was under contract with Inter Miami for one more year.



‘Tata’ Martino joined in mid-2023 as part of the Herons’ ambitious efforts to elevate the club to elite status. Alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, Martino’s arrival marked a turning point in the franchise’s history.



The former Barcelona and Argentina national team coach wasted no time implementing his signature attacking philosophy, centered on ball possession and dynamic play. This tactical overhaul quickly bore fruit, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> claimed their first-ever title by winning the 2023 Leagues Cup.



With another year under his belt and a roster bolstered by additional stars, including Luis Suarez, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gerardo-martino">Martino</a> guided Inter Miami to unprecedented success in the 2024 season. The Herons not only topped the Eastern Conference and captured the Supporters’ Shield but also shattered the league’s all-time points record, firmly establishing themselves as a dominant force in MLS.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241119_BUS_275877_tata-martino-1024x576_70c451fb.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="tata martino" class="wp-image-269929" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/tata-martino.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption> Head coach Tata Martino of Inter Miami looks on against Monterrey prior to the CONCACAF Champions Cup 2024 </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Martino’s surprising departure</h2>



Despite an impressive regular season that saw Inter Miami dominate the MLS standings, their playoff campaign ended abruptly with a first-round loss to Atlanta United at Chase Stadium. The early exit was a bitter disappointment for a team that had set its sights on the championship.



Speaking candidly in the post-game press conference, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino admitted the team’s shortcomings. “If you think about the expectations we had for this playoff, we obviously fell too short,” he said. Reflecting further, he added, “In this last part of the year, we got used to achieving the goals we set ourselves, and the most important one we have not been able to achieve.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/martinos-surprising-seven-word-message-about-messis-future-after-inter-miamis-mls-playoffs-exit"></div>

 

 


Despite the setback, Martino struck a hopeful note about the club’s future, praising their progress. “I don’t think there is any reason for the club not to keep trying next year. Everything that has happened this year, the bad and the good, has been overall better than anything that happened last year, and I would say even since the life the club has had,” he remarked.



Given these comments, many believed Martino would remain with the franchise to pursue redemption in 2025. However, his recent decision to step down has left everyone surprised, marking the end of an era for the Herons.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>‘s quest to win the MLS Cup with Inter Miami came to an end as the team lost 3-2 to Atlanta United in the deciding match of their best-of-three series, eliminating them in the first round of the playoffs. Following the defeat, head coach Tata Martino made surprising comments about Messi’s future with the team.



“I actually don’t know how limited [Messi’s time in MLS] is,” Martino admitted, according to The Daily Mirror. “There is a question of time passing, but I would not dare to say that it is so short,” he added regarding the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s future.



Messi’s contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> runs until December 2025, leaving him enough time to consider his next steps. The World Cup champion has expressed his commitment to the club’s growth. “My love for this sport is immense. We came here to make this club even greater. I didn’t come to retire,” he said in October while accepting Marca’s America Legend award.



<h2>Miami’s high expectations dashed</h2>



Miami had a dominant <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> regular season, winning the Supporters’ Shield as the team with the most points across both Conferences. They entered the playoffs as favorites to win the MLS Cup but faltered after taking the lead in the quarterfinal series. Despite winning the opening match (2-1) at Chase Stadium, Atlanta United forced a decider with a home victory (2-1).

In the final match, Matias Rojas scored early for Miami, but Jamal Thiare’s quick double put Atlanta ahead. Despite Brad Guzan’s impressive performance in goal, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-lionel-messi-scores-crucial-goal-for-inter-miami-vs-atlanta-united-in-mls-playoffs">Messi leveled the game with a close-range header</a>. However, Bartosz Silsz‘s late winner sealed the upset for Atlanta.

<h2>Martino defends Inter Miami’s progress amid disappointment</h2>



While Messi has lifted trophies with Miami, including the Supporters’ Shield, he has yet to win the MLS Cup since joining the team. Last year, Miami failed to make the playoffs, largely due to Messi’s injury.



Reflecting on the team’s progress, Martino said, “If you look at the context in which this began, it seems to me that the club’s progress is significant. Comparing the final game of last season to today’s playoff loss, it’s clear the club’s objectives have evolved. I see no reason why the team can’t continue to push forward next year.“


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-vs-cristiano-ronaldo-who-leads-in-goals-scored-in-2024"></div>


He added, “What happened this year—the good and the bad—has been better than anything in the club’s history.” Looking ahead, Miami will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup next year, having qualified as the Supporters’ Shield winner and host nation representative.

Inter Miami entered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> Playoffs with high hopes of reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time in their history. Having dominated the 2024 Major League Soccer regular season, winning the Supporters’ Shield and dazzling fans with their superb play, the Herons were considered favorites. However, Atlanta United found a way to disrupt their rhythm and pulled off an upset.



After a 2-1 victory in the first game of the series at Chase Stadium, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> faltered in Georgia, conceding a 2-1 loss in stoppage time. This set up a decisive third match in Miami on Saturday, where Atlanta United delivered another blow, winning 3-2 to advance to the MLS semifinals.



Inter Miami’s unexpected elimination in the Eastern Conference Playoffs leaves the team with no remaining competitions in 2024, ending their season earlier than anticipated. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> still has two crucial matches left this year with the Argentina national team.



The 37-year-old superstar will quickly head to South America to join Lionel Scaloni’s training camp. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> have two key matches lined up in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers: On Thursday, November 14, they will visit Paraguay at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in Asuncion, and on Tuesday, November 19, they will host Peru at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires.

<h2>Argentina’s road to the World Cup</h2>



Argentina stand as the sole leaders of the South American World Cup qualification standings, boasting an impressive 22 points, maintaining a commanding position. They lead seventh-place Bolivia, who occupy the playoff zone, by 10 points and are 11 points ahead of Venezuela, who sit outside playoff contention.



With strong results during this international break, Lionel Messi and his team could edge even closer to securing their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While this would be fantastic news for Argentina, Messi has yet to confirm if he will participate in the tournament, as he will be 39 years old when it takes place.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/paraguay-enforce-anti-messi-measures-ahead-of-world-cup-qualifier-against-argentina"></div>


<h2>What’s next for Inter Miami?</h2>



With their elimination from all 2024 competitions, Inter Miami have no immediate goals for the remainder of the year. They may choose to replicate last year’s post-season schedule, which included a friendly against New York City FC after their MLS campaign ended.



Looking forward to 2025, Inter Miami face several major challenges. Beyond competing in the MLS regular season, the Herons will participate in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, testing their mettle on the international stage. However, their marquee event will be the Club World Cup, held during the summer in the United States. The tournament will see Inter Miami compete against some of the world’s most elite teams, including Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain.



<h2>The MLS semifinals</h2>



After their victory over Inter Miami, Atlanta United will meet Orlando City in the semifinals. The other Eastern Conference semifinal features a highly anticipated city derby between the New York Red Bulls and New York City FC.



In the Western Conference, Los Angeles Football Club will take on the Seattle Sounders, while the Los Angeles Galaxy face Minnesota United FC. These matchups promise to deliver thrilling action as the race to the MLS Cup intensifies.

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Atlanta United are facing off at Chase Stadium in the deciding match of the first round of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> Playoffs. With the series tied at one win apiece, tonight’s clash in Fort Lauderdale will determine who advances to face Orlando City in the semifinals.



The Herons started strong, taking the lead in the 17th minute when Matias Rojas capitalized on a rebound inside the box to open the scoring. However, the visitors responded swiftly. Jamal Thiare stunned the crowd with two quick goals in just four minutes, flipping the script and putting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united">Atlanta United</a> ahead 2-1.



Trailing at halftime, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> returned to the pitch determined to turn the game around. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, the equalizer remained elusive—until <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> stepped up in the second half. Rising to meet a cross, the Argentine superstar delivered a crucial header to level the score and reignite the Herons’ hopes of advancing.

<h2>Atlanta United’s immediate response</h2>



Inter Miami’s resurgence was brief, as Atlanta United quickly regained the lead with a decisive counterpunch. Just ten minutes after Lionel Messi’s equalizer, Bartosz Slisz rose to meet a perfectly floated cross, delivering a powerful header that left goalkeeper Drake Callender helpless. The goal silenced the home crowd and restored Atlanta’s advantage at 3-2, swinging momentum firmly back in favor of the Five Stripes.

After an impressive regular season that saw them dominate the Eastern Conference, Inter Miami are eyeing their maiden <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a> title. Despite their success this year, the club has never reached the semifinals—a milestone they hope to achieve with Lionel Messi at the helm. However, Atlanta United stand in their way, promising a high-stakes encounter in Fort Lauderdale.



This match at Chase Stadium marks the third and final clash of the series between the Herons and the Five Stripes. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> claimed a 2-1 victory at home in the first match, but Atlanta United bounced back with a dramatic stoppage-time win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.



With the playoff format requiring two victories to advance, the series is tied at one apiece, setting the stage for a winner-takes-all showdown. A win for either side will secure a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals—a first for Inter Miami in their five-year MLS history.



If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, the series will proceed directly to a penalty shootout. No extra time will be played. The shootout will follow standard rules: each team takes five penalties alternately, and if the tie persists, sudden-death rounds will determine the winner.

<h2>A high-risk encounter for Inter Miami</h2>



Inter Miami enter the decisive matchup as the clear favorites to advance to the MLS 2024 Playoffs semifinals. Their dominant regular-season campaign and the unmatched brilliance of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> make them one of the league’s most formidable teams.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messis-teammate-receives-tough-news-from-mls-ahead-of-inter-miami-vs-atlanta-united-clash"></div>


However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united">Atlanta United</a> have proven to be a thorn in Miami’s side like no other. Remarkably, the Five Stripes are the only team this season to defeat Inter Miami with Messi on the pitch—not once, but twice.



The first upset came during Matchday 16 of the regular season, when Atlanta secured a convincing 3-1 victory at Chase Stadium. The second was just last Saturday, when a stoppage-time goal handed them a dramatic 2-1 win in Georgia, forcing this winner-takes-all showdown.



These results highlight Atlanta United’s resilience and competitiveness, serving as a stark reminder for the Herons to remain focused. Complacency is not an option if Inter Miami hope to secure their first-ever semifinal appearance and keep their MLS title aspirations alive.

Inter Miami are enjoying a remarkable year in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Major League Soccer</a>. After securing the Supporters’ Shield with a standout performance in the 2024 regular season, they are now just days away from a pivotal playoff clash against Atlanta United. However, one of the team’s rising stars and Lionel Messi’s key teammate, Diego Gomez, received disappointing news from the league.



Gomez, a Paraguayan midfielder, was a finalist for the MLS Young Player of the Year award, which is presented annually to the league’s top players under 22. He competed in the final round of voting against Real Salt Lake’s Diego Luna and LAFC’s Cristian Olivera.



On Thursday, MLS announced that Luna edged out Gomez for the award, capturing 35.66% of the vote compared to Gomez’s 33.21%. The close margin underscored Gomez’s impressive season, though it wasn’t quite enough to secure the honor.



Luna earned the award following a strong season for Real Salt Lake, where he contributed 9 goals and 8 assists across 36 matches in all competitions. Gomez, meanwhile, played 27 games for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>, recording 6 goals and 7 assists. As one of Messi’s primary partners on the field and a vital piece in Gerardo Martino‘s lineup, Gomez has proven instrumental to Inter Miami’s success this season.

<h2>Another setback for Inter Miami</h2>



This loss marks the second MLS award Inter Miami have missed this year. Previously, Luis Suarez lost in the MLS Newcomer of the Year category to Brazilian forward Gabriel Pec of the Los Angeles Galaxy.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-vs-cristiano-ronaldo-who-leads-in-goals-scored-in-2024"></div>


<h2>Remaining award opportunities for Inter Miami</h2>



With the Supporters’ Shield win, Inter Miami lead MLS in award nominations this year, securing nods in six categories. Alongside the Newcomer and Young Player awards, they are also nominated for Best Defender, Best Coach, and MVP.



In the Best Defender category, Jordi Alba competes against Columbus Crew’s Steven Moreira and Seattle Sounders FC’s Jackson Ragen. For Best Coach, Gerardo Martino faces Colorado Rapids’ Chris Armas and Columbus Crew’s Wilfried Nancy.



Finally, the MVP category remains Inter Miami’s strongest chance for a win, with both Luis Suarez and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> among the five finalists. They are joined by Christian Benteke of DC United, Evander of Portland Timbers, and Cucho Hernandez of Columbus Crew. With 22 goals and 13 assists in 24 games, Messi is widely considered the frontrunner.



<h2>How MLS determines award winners</h2>



MLS employs a mixed voting system involving players, club technical staff, and local and national media representatives who cover the league. The winners are chosen based on an average of votes received from these three groups.

Inter Miami arrived at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday hoping to build on last week’s 2-1 victory and secure their place in the next round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> Playoffs. However, Atlanta United executed a solid game plan, containing Lionel Messi and ultimately securing a late win to extend the series.



The decisive match between Inter Miami and Atlanta United is now set for Saturday, November 9, at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. This match will determine, once and for all, which team moves on to the Eastern Conference semifinals.



The extra game is undoubtedly a setback for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>, who had the advantage following their opening win in Florida and appeared to be closer to a victory than their opponents throughout much of Saturday’s game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-messis-inter-miami-take-the-lead-vs-atlanta-united-after-absurd-mistake-by-goalkeeper-guzan">David Martinez opened the scoring for Inter Miami</a>, capitalizing on a critical error by goalkeeper Brad Guzan. However, 13 minutes into the second half, Derrick Williams equalized for Atlanta United with a powerful header off a precise cross from Pedro Amador.

From that point, Inter Miami pressed for a second goal, coming close when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a>’s corner kick, deflected by a defender, struck the crossbar. Atlanta United also had their chances, with Saba Lobzhanidze hitting the crossbar in a close attempt.



<h2>Atlanta’s late goal</h2>



In stoppage time, just as the match appeared destined for a penalty shootout, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united">Atlanta United</a> orchestrated a well-built play outside the box, finding Xande Silva. The Portuguese midfielder controlled the ball and, taking advantage of Miami’s defensive lapse, fired a powerful shot past goalkeeper Drake Callender to secure the victory, forcing a third game in the series.

Regardless of the outcome next Saturday, a winner will emerge between Inter Miami and Atlanta United to advance to the MLS Eastern Conference semifinals. Their opponent is still undecided, as Orlando City and Charlotte FC remain locked in their own series. Orlando City claimed the first match with a 2-0 victory, while Charlotte FC won the second match on penalties after a 0-0 draw. The two teams will face off again on November 9 at Exploria Stadium to decide the semifinalist.

Inter Miami and Atlanta United are battling for a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> Playoffs. Following last week’s 2-1 win at Chase Stadium, this Saturday’s match could prove decisive for the Herons if they secure another victory under Lionel Messi’s leadership. So far, they’re on track, with David Martinez’s goal putting them ahead thanks to an unfortunate blunder by Brad Guzan.



The first 45 minutes saw an evenly matched contest, with both teams demonstrating their determination to win. Each side, leveraging its own strengths, created scoring opportunities. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> adhered to the formula that had brought them success throughout the regular season: maintaining possession and patiently waiting for openings to exploit the opponent’s defense.



This strategy yielded the first chances on goal, including a shot from outside the box by Luis Suarez, which was deflected by goalkeeper Brad Guzan. Minutes later, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> executed a brilliant individual play, weaving past several defenders to connect with Jordi Alba, who returned the pass inside the box. However, with limited space to maneuver, Messi’s shot went just wide of the target.



<h2>The opener for Inter Miami</h2>



As the first half neared its end and it seemed the teams would head into the locker room level, a game-changing moment unfolded. Following a free kick, goalkeeper Brad Guzan comfortably caught the ball and prepared to launch an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united">Atlanta United</a> counterattack. However, Federico Redondo stepped in to challenge him.

In an unexpected turn of events, Guzan hesitated between releasing the ball and holding it, lost his balance, and dropped it. Redondo quickly capitalized, passing to Martinez on the edge of the box. The Paraguayan defender seized the opportunity with a delicate finish over the Atlanta defenders, putting the Herons ahead 1-0.

<h2>Was Inter Miami’s goal valid?</h2>



Following Inter Miami’s opening goal, Atlanta United players—particularly goalkeeper Brad Guzan—strongly protested to referee Rubiel Vazquez, arguing that Federico Redondo had improperly obstructed Guzan, making the goal possible.



The incident briefly went to VAR review, with officials assessing whether Redondo’s actions constituted an infraction. After a few moments, the VAR upheld the referee’s decision, deeming the goal valid and allowing Inter Miami to head into halftime with the lead.

A little over a week ago, Inter Miami secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Atlanta United at Chase Stadium in the first game of this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> playoff series. While this win was an essential first step for the Herons, they need another victory this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to advance to the next round. With that in mind, coach Gerardo Martino has made a choice regarding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>.



The Argentine superstar will be on the starting lineup, leading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a> as they seek a historic result—one that could propel them to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time in their history.



Under the current tournament format, each team must win two games to advance to the Conference semifinals. If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united">Atlanta United</a> win tonight, the series will proceed to a decisive third game in Miami on Saturday, November 9. A unique aspect of this playoff format is that ties are not allowed. If the score is even after 90 minutes, the match will be decided by penalty kicks.



<h2>Inter Miami’s starting XI</h2>



Coach Gerardo Martino will field a strong eleven against Atlanta United, ensuring that key players such as Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez are on the pitch. Sergio Busquets will be absent due to physical problems.
