According to the Telegraph, Pulis has been offered the role following his success as manager of Saint Louis FC in America’s second division.
Before that he was coach of Orlando City B and has been building an impressive reputation in the States.
As a player, the 35-year-old’s career never really took off having made just two appearances for Stoke in four years.
He then spent time on loan at seven different clubs in the lower leagues before finding his feet at Orlando City.
Pulis has watched his dad manage clubs in the Premier League such as Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Brom.
Tony has his own reputation for guiding teams to safety although has been criticised for his style of play in the past.
But Anthony insists he is no carbon-copy of his old man and has his own ideas.
In an interview with the BBC, he said: “I am very close to my dad – I speak to him nearly every day on the phone.
“He has managed more than 1,000 games in English football. There are not many who have done that and I would be stupid not to tap into his knowledge.
“Having said that, I am my own man. I have my own ideas on how things should be done and I am certainly not a clone of my dad. But I can pick the phone up whenever things come up because everything I go through, he has experienced.”
Inter Miami’s season gets underway on March 1 against Los Angeles FC.
