Javier Mascherano has stepped down as Inter Miami coach for personal reasons, the club said on Tuesday.
Mascherano, who was appointed in November 2024, guided Inter Miami to its first-ever MLS Cup title and the Eastern Conference championship, while the team set a league record with 101 goals across regular season and postseason play.
“I want to let everyone know that, for personal reasons, I have decided to end my tenure as head coach of Inter Miami CF,” Mascherano said in a statement released by the club.
