However, it was different at the last Major League Soccer Cup playoff. In the first round, Martino was eliminated by Atlanta, which was ranked ninth in the regular league. Martino said he would resign despite having one year left on his contract, citing personal reasons.
Xavi Hernandez was mentioned as Martino's replacement. According to the British media "90min," Inter Miami has considered Xavi as the next head coach. Xavi was fired by Barcelona after the last season. He has not found a new team since then.
Recently, the name of another Barcelona native was mentioned. It was Marcherano. He retired from Estudiantes in 2020 and began his leadership career. He has been leading the Argentine U-20 national team since 2022.
"Mascherano replaces Martino. He has been selected for a new long-term project. We plan to sign a three-year contract," Argentina's TyC Sports said. As reported, Mascherano has been appointed as Inter Miami's new manager.
Mascherano said, 온라인카지노 "It's an honor for me to be able to lead a club like Inter Miami. I was attracted to the ambition and infrastructure of the club," adding, "I look forward to working with the Inter Miami staff to elevate the club to a higher position and provide unforgettable moments for the fans."
Currently, Inter Miami has players from Barcelona, including Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez. All four players have played with Marcelano. Attention is focusing on whether Mascherano will be able to give the trophy to Inter Miami with his old teammates.
