Mascherano resigns as Inter Miami head coach

Javier Mascherano has resigned as head coach of Inter Miami CF with immediate effect, the club confirmed on Tuesday.

The Argentine cited personal reasons for his decision, bringing an end to a tenure that delivered immediate success.

Mascherano leaves after guiding the Herons to their first-ever MLS Cup title, capping a campaign defined by consistency, attacking output, and control across the season.

In a statement released on the club’s official website, he thanked the players, technical staff, and supporters for their backing during his time in charge.

His exit now leaves Inter Miami searching for a replacement ahead of the new campaign, with the focus shifting to maintaining the standard set under his leadership.

“I want to let everyone know that, for personal reasons, I have decided to end my tenure as head coach of Inter Miami CF.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank the Club for the trust they placed in me, every employee who is part of the organisation for the collective effort, but especially the players, who made it possible for us to experience unforgettable moments.

“I also want to thank the fans and La Familia, because none of this would have been possible without them. I will always carry with me the memory of our first star, and wherever I am, I will continue to wish the Club all the best moving forward.

“I have no doubt that the Club will continue to achieve success in the future. Sending you all a big hug, and thank you for everything.”

Recall that Javier Mascherano took over the reins of Inter Miami in January 2025 with no prior senior managerial experience, yet transformed Inter Miami into champions.

Having guided the team to the MLS Cup title and the Eastern Conference championship in his debut, Mascherano hence remains one of the best coaches ever in the history of the club.

The 2025 campaign was record-breaking, with Miami scoring a combined 101 goals across regular season and postseason play.

On the international stage, Mascherano led Inter Miami to historic milestones at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, where they became the first MLS side to reach the knockout rounds.
