Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami CF has selected a new coach. According to reports, former Barcelona FC player and Messi’s Argentine teammate, Javier Mascherano, will become the new head coach of the MLS team. This was confirmed by journalist César Luis Merlo, who assured that the agreement with the former Argentine player has already been finalized.
Inter Miami‘s decision to hire Mascherano as coach is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the sports project and create a solid team environment. The Messi-Mascherano duo, which made history in world soccer, is expected to repeat its success in MLS. His experience and leadership, combined with his close relationship with Messi, promise a new era of success for the Florida club.
The official confirmation of the signing is expected in the coming days, marking the beginning of a new era for Inter Miami under the leadership of Javier Mascherano.
Mascherano’s coaching evolution: From player to tactical leader
Javier Mascherano, the legendary Argentine midfielder, has transitioned seamlessly from his days as a world-class player to a promising coaching career in soccer. Renowned for his leadership and tactical acumen on the field, Mascherano now aims to bring the same qualities to the sidelines.
Currently leading Argentina’s U-20 team, Mascherano is set to take over as head coach of Inter Miami, replacing Tata Martino, who stepped down for personal reasons. His proven ability to mentor young players and his vision for building competitive teams make him a likely choice for the role.
