Javier Mascherano is set to make his debut as the head coach of Inter Miami this weekend, but his personal transition to South Florida remains a work in progress. Hired just weeks ago, the former teammate of Lionel Messi is currently living in a hotel as he focuses on preparing the team for the upcoming Major League Soccer season. “Maybe in two or three weeks, I’ll try to find a house,” Mascherano said, emphasizing that his immediate priority is his new role.
Mascherano held his second official training session on Monday, with Messi and the majority of the squad present as they ramp up for their preseason opener in Las Vegas. The new coach aims to instill a style of play characterized by intensity and courage. “We know we are just starting and we need to stay calm. We’re happy with the players. They’re working hard and doing very well,” he stated, highlighting the team’s positive attitude during their preparations.
The former Barcelona and Argentina national team player takes the helm of a team that achieved a historic regular-season record last year under coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who stepped down for personal reasons before the playoffs. With high expectations for success, especially given Messi’s presence, Mascherano is dedicating countless hours to his coaching responsibilities, prioritizing team development over settling into a new home. Midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi noted that Mascherano’s passionate approach reflects the Argentine football culture, which emphasizes intensity and commitment, qualities that he believes will greatly benefit the team.
