Inter Miami's promising 2024 season concluded abruptly in the playoffs. The team celebrated a Supporters' Shield win and a record points tally, alongside key players Messi and Suárez. However, head coach Tata Martino's resignation for personal reasons was unexpected and left the team searching for new leadership. Javier Mascherano was appointed shortly after, despite his lack of management experience. Fans expressed uncertainty over his qualifications, while Mascherano emphasized his confidence in his ability to meet the club's high expectations as he takes on a formidable challenge.
Mascherano's journey with Inter Miami actually began in 2019, in a meeting with Mas at his office in South Florida to discuss soccer. The two spent an entire night speaking about shared football philosophies and potential future collaborations.
Although no one saw the announcement coming, the Inter Miami board quickly reacted. Co-owner Jorge Mas conferred with co-owner David Beckham, then-sporting director Raul Sanllehi and Messi to find a new manager who could handle the locker room and fulfill high expectations.
