Javier Mascherano he said Yes. According to information reported by Tyc Sportsthe former Barcelona and Liverpool midfielder will be the new coach of Inter Miami. He will therefore lead a team full of old teammates, from Lionel Messi to Luis Suarez to Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, in an attempt to finally win the MLS title, which surprisingly eluded him this year.
El Jefecito, who coached the Argentina Under-20 and Under-23 (the Olympic national team), will therefore replace Gerardo Martino: he has been chosen by the owners of the Florida club to begin a new long-term project and will sign a three-year contract years. The announcement will come after the official farewell of Gerardo Martino, who decided to leave the position after the sensational elimination in the round of 16 of the playoffs against Atlanta.
Inter Miami had also contacted Xavi, but the former Barça coach decided to stay put until the end of the season, not convinced by the idea of leaving Europe to attempt an adventure that was certainly less stimulating from a sporting point of view.
