Javier Mascherano has been named Inter Miami’s new head coach, reuniting him with his longtime friend and former Barcelona teammate, Lionel Messi. The Major League Soccer (MLS) club announced this exciting development on Tuesday, signaling a fresh chapter for both Mascherano and the team.
He steps in for Gerardo Martino, who resigned last week for personal reasons. Mascherano, who enjoyed a successful playing career at Barcelona and with the Argentina national team, now takes on a prominent role at a club that has gained attention since Messi arrived in the U.S. earlier this year. His coaching background includes leading Argentina’s Under-20 and Olympic teams, with his latest experience at the Paris Olympics.
As head coach, Mascherano aims to build on Inter Miami’s progress in the league, with Messi spearheading the team’s efforts on the pitch. The reunion of these two football icons is sure to generate excitement as the club strives for success both in the domestic league and on the international stage.
Mascherano’s hiring marks a pivotal moment for Inter Miami, a club determined to establish itself in Major League Soccer through a blend of seasoned leadership and star talent, poised to elevate the team under his direction.
