Javier Mascherano quits Inter Miami

Javier Mascherano has unexpectedly resigned as the head coach of Inter Miami just four months after leading the club to its first MLS Cup title.

The former Argentine international cited personal reasons for his departure, leaving the team and star player Lionel Messi searching for a new manager.

Mascherano's exit comes after a slow start to the 2026 season and disappointing results in the Champions Cup.

David Beckham and the club's ownership are now reportedly considering several high-profile candidates to take over the role.

The decision has stunned fans and players alike, as Mascherano was seen as a key figure in the club's recent success.
