Javier Mascherano takes charge as Inter Miami's head coach
- Javier Mascherano has taken over as head coach of Inter Miami after Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino's resignation.
- Mascherano, a celebrated former player, aims to leverage his experience coaching Argentina's youth teams.
- His appointment is seen as a strategic move to build upon Miami's recent successes in MLS.
In recent days, Javier Mascherano has been appointed as the new head coach of Inter Miami, marking a significant step in his coaching career. Previously serving as the head coach for Argentina's under-20 team, Mascherano succeeds Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, who resigned due to personal reasons after leading Miami to notable success. Under Martino, Miami achieved a record-setting 74-point regular season and won the Supporters’ Shield, but they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the playoffs by Atlanta United. Mascherano, a former player for top clubs like Barcelona and Liverpool, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to lead the team, highlighting the ambition of the club and the infrastructure in place to support its goals. He looks forward to collaborating with former teammates, including Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, as well as leveraging his coaching experience with players he has previously mentored in Argentina. This move is not just a new chapter for Mascherano but also a chance for Inter Miami to build on the momentum created under Martino's successful tenure, while aiming for further achievements in future competitions.
