The coach was officially presented in a press conference
This Tuesday (3), Inter Miami promoted the official presentation of Javier Mascherano as the team’s new coach. That is, he comes to replace another Argentine, Gerardo Martino, who left the leadership of the North American club after citing “personal problems”.
One of the questions that came up in the interview was his closeness to the team’s star, Lionel Messi. Both shared the dressing room both during their stay at Barcelona and with the Argentina national team.
On this topic Masc did not deny the importance of the friendship with number 10, but also underlined that he has the ability to calmly separate the personal aspect from the professional one. Both in the case of Messi and the other former Barça athletes present in the team: Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez.

I don’t deny it, I’m not going to walk into the locker room one day and deny having a “Friendship, this is not a problem. Things are one thing, work is another thing”, explained the Inter captain.
Working at the club competing in Major League Soccer (MLS) will be Mascherano’s first club experience. This is because, before that, he had a period of decent results with the Under 20s and also with the Argentine Olympic national team.
