Lionel Messi’s new coach at Inter Miami will be announced “in the coming days”, the club’s co-owner Jorge Mas said Friday, with reports suggesting Javier Mascherano is in pole position.
Argentine Gerardo “Tata” Martino has left the club due to personal reasons and Mas said he and fellow owner David Beckham have moved quickly to identify his replacement.
Media reports in Argentina have claimed that Messi’s former Barcelona team-mate Javier Mascherano, currently coach of Argentina’s Under-20 national side, is in line to take on the role.
Mas would not confirm or deny that Mascherano had been chosen to replace his compatriot Martino but said Messi had been consulted.
