Miami (United States), 14 April (LaPresse) – Javier Mascherano is stepping down as manager of Inter Miami, in a surprising decision that comes just four months after winning the MLS Cup at the helm of the team where Lionel Messi also plays. Mascherano, a former teammate of Messi’s at Barcelona and in the Argentina national team before reuniting with him as a manager, is leaving the club for personal reasons. Replacing Mascherano, at least in the short term, will be Guillermo Hoyos, who is partly credited with discovering Messi in Barcelona’s youth ranks and predicting that he would become one of the greatest of all time.
