American club Inter Miami witnessed a surprising development after the departure of Argentine coach Javier Mascherano, who submitted his resignation after a successful period at the local and continental levels, justifying his decision with “personal reasons,” despite the great achievements he achieved with the team.
Argentine coach Guillermo Hoyos took over the leadership of the Inter Miami team temporarily, saying in statements reported by the Spanish AS: Training the star Lionel Messi is a great blessing, at a time when the club is searching for a new coach to lead the team.
During Mascherano’s tenure, Inter Miami achieved a historic season during which it won the American League title for the first time in its history, and also won the Eastern Conference title. The team set a record by scoring 101 goals in all competitions, in addition to participating in the Club World Cup and reaching the playoffs.
But the 2026 season was not as strong, as the team suffered a clear decline in results, as it lost at the beginning of the season to Los Angeles FC, and failed to achieve any wins during the first two matches in its new stadium, and also bid an early farewell to the CONCACAF Champions League.
Reports indicated that the team has become heavily dependent on Argentine star Lionel Messi on the offensive side, in light of the decline in harmony between the players, which has increased pressure on the technical staff.
She also pointed out a similarity between Mascherano’s departure and the departure of former coach Gerardo Martino, who also left for personal reasons after a successful period, which raised questions about the management style of the technical staff within the club.
The newspaper confirmed that Inter Miami’s management has already begun the search for a new coach, as the team continues to compete in the Eastern Conference League, in light of the club’s desire to maintain continuity of success despite the repeated technical changes.
