Inter Miami has appointed Javier Mascherano as its new head coach, reuniting him with Lionel Messi. Mascherano, who previously coached Argentina's under-20 and Olympic teams, signed a three-year contract and will start once his paperwork is finalized. Mascherano replaces Gerardo "Tata" Martino, who stepped down for personal reasons. The team had a record-setting regular season but was eliminated in the playoffs. Mascherano aims to leverage his experience and familiarity with Messi and other stars to enhance the team's performance. Mascherano, a former player for Barcelona and Argentina, expressed excitement about leading Inter Miami. The team is preparing for a busy 2025 season, which may include over 50 matches, as they aim for success in various competitions.
