Inter Miami have found a new head coach in Lionel Messi and Co. and are once again building on a past with FC Barcelona. Javier Mascherano signed a contract on Tuesday until the end of the 2027 season and will leave the Argentine association at the end of the year, where he has held various positions since January 2021. He has notably taken care of the team Olympic this summer.

“Javier has gained unparalleled experience during his career, playing on the world’s biggest stages and coaching at international youth level. “He has the mix of skills and experience we were looking for and even has direct coaching experience with Tomás Avilés, Facundo Farías, Federico Redondo and Benjamin Cremaschi,” said Inter owner Jorge Mas.

Miami failed in the playoffs against Atlanta United. In the main round, the club set a championship record with 74 points. Coach Gerardo Martino announced his resignation on Friday for personal reasons.

Mascherano finished his professional career four years ago with Estudiantes de La Plata. However, he played the most matches (334) for FC Barcelona, ​​where he also played with Messi. He didn’t appear on the field with anyone else more often; including the national team, there were 414 matches. After the 2018 World Cup in Russia with an elimination in the round of 16 and 147 international matches, the former defensive midfielder announced his retirement.
