Javier Mascherano, a former professional football player who retired in 2018, has been making a name for himself as a coach. Since January 2022, he has been managing Argentina's Under-20 team, but it seems that he is ready to take on a new challenge. According to reports, Mascherano has agreed to become the new head coach for Inter Miami, a Major League Soccer (MLS) team.
This decision comes after the resignation of Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who had been leading Inter Miami since 2022. During his time as head coach, Martino led the team to great success, including a record-breaking 74 points in the regular season and a victory in the Supporters' Shield. However, their journey in the MLS Cup playoffs came to an unexpected end when they were eliminated in the first round by Atlanta United.
Now, it seems that Mascherano will be taking over the reins at Inter Miami. This move will see him reunite with his former teammate and close friend, Lionel Messi, who is currently the captain of the team. The two have played together at both Barcelona and with the Argentine national team, and their strong bond will surely be an asset for the team.
But it's not just Messi that Mascherano will be familiar with at Inter Miami. He has also played alongside other players on the team, such as Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba during his time at Barcelona. In fact, Mascherano has also managed two of his new players, Thomas Aviles and Federico Redondo, during his time as the coach of Argentina's Under-20 team.
During his playing career, Mascherano has achieved great success, winning a total of 19 trophies at Barcelona and two Olympic gold medals with Argentina. However, he also faced some disappointments, such as finishing as a runner-up in the 2014 World Cup and four Copa America tournaments. One of the most notable moments in his career was the controversial transfer that brought him and Carlos Tevez to West Ham from Brazilian side Corinthians in 2006.
Despite spending only six months at West Ham, Mascherano made a lasting impact and went on to join Liverpool in February 2007. Now, he is ready to make his mark in the coaching world with Inter Miami. We wish him all the best in his new role and look forward to seeing his contributions to the team.
