David Beckham is set to appoint Anthony Pulis, the son of former Premier League manager Tony, as the latest capture for Inter Miami.

Pulis has established an excellent reputation in the US at United Soccer League club Saint Louis FC and is joining Miami in a senior coaching role, with the two clubs agreeing a compensation fee on Friday.

The 35 year-old had been in charge at Saint Louis for two years in American soccer’s second tier and is now earning a promotion of his own to Beckham’s new Major League Soccer franchise.

Beckham is keen to build a strong coaching set-up at Miami, with the club kicking off their first ever MLS season in March, and Pulis has been headhunted by the club. He is understood to be signing a three-year deal as Diego Alonso's assistant.

Alonso, the former Uruguay international, was appointed as manager earlier this week after ambitious moves for Patrick Vieira and Carlo Ancelotti were rebuffed.

Pulis, a former midfielder, played for a number of English clubs including Portsmouth, Stoke and Plymouth before moving to the States in 2012.

He first began his coaching career at Orlando City B before joining Saint Louis as head coach in November 2017.
