Overview
- Inter Miami said Tuesday that Mascherano stepped down for “personal reasons,” installing sporting director Guillermo Hoyos as interim head coach and moving chief soccer officer Alberto Marrero into the sporting director role.
- The club said Mascherano’s entire coaching staff also departed, and owners Jorge Mas and David Beckham thanked him publicly and said they respect his decision.
- Miami is 3-1-3 and third in the Eastern Conference after an early Concacaf Champions Cup exit and two home draws to open the new Nu Stadium.
- Mascherano led the Herons to their first MLS Cup in December 2025 and arrived with only Argentina U-20 and U-23 coaching experience at the senior level.
- Hoyos, a longtime Messi mentor from Barcelona’s academy days, now leads the team into Saturday’s trip to the Colorado Rapids after Mascherano informed the club over the weekend following a 2-2 draw with the Red Bulls.
