Javier Mascherano to Coach Inter Miami FC: A Fresh Chapter Begins
As the dust settles, we’re excited to announce that former Argentina international midfielder Javier Mascherano is set to don a new hat as the head coach of Major League Soccer (MLS) club, Inter Miami FC. This move presents an intriguing opportunity for Mascherano to work alongside his former Argentina teammate, the legendary Lionel Messi, who’s currently playing for Inter Miami.
The news dropped courtesy of renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his official X page. According to Romano, Mascherano’s appointment comes following the departure of Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who stepped down due to personal reasons.
As Romano’s post shared, Mascherano’s friendship with Messi, forged during their playing days with Argentina, played a significant role in securing the coaching gig. The agreement is being formalized, with documents on the way.
Meanwhile, Messi has been open about his thoughts on returning to his beloved FC Barcelona, his former club. In the lead-up to Barcelona’s 125th-anniversary celebrations, Messi reminisced about his time in the city and conveyed a deep emotional connection.
“My kids were born there. I’ve spent my whole life living there. I feel I belong to Barcelona,” he expressed. He went on to say, “My family and I always think about the possibility of returning to live there one day. My children, my wife, and I miss our life there a lot. We miss our friends.”
With this new chapter unfolding, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s to come for Inter Miami FC, and whether Messi’s return to Barcelona might be an option on the horizon. Time will tell, but for now, the excitement is palpable as Mascherano takes the reins of his new team.
