Inter Miami officially announced Javier Mascherano as their head coach for the 2025 MLS season. The appointment marks a significant step in Mascherano's coaching career as he takes on the challenge of leading the team to its first league title, alongside global superstars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.

En 2024, el equipo liderado por Gerardo Martino logró hitos significativos, incluyendo romper el récord de puntos en una temporada, ganar la Supporters' Shield y avanzar a los playoffs. Sin embargo, su sueño de coronarse campeón se desvaneció tras una sorpresiva eliminación en la primera ronda frente al Atlanta United.

Building on 2024's Achievements

In 2024, Inter Miami, under Gerardo Martino, shattered records with the highest points in a season, secured the Supporters' Shield, and qualified for the playoffs. Despite these achievements, they fell short of winning the MLS Cup, exiting in the first playoff round after a defeat to Atlanta United.

Mascherano's Objectives for 2025

The new coach's roadmap includes:

• Defensive Reinforcements: Strengthening the backline to maintain consistent performance throughout the season.

• Player Fitness: Keeping key players like Messi and Suárez fit for league games, the FIFA Club World Cup, and other competitions.

• Playoff Success: Overcoming past playoff shortcomings and advancing to the MLS Cup final for the first time.

• Securing the Supporters' Shield Again: Guaranteeing a smooth playoff qualification.

A Return to Glory?

Mascherano, who has long been linked with a role at Inter Miami, steps into a high-pressure environment but one filled with potential. The team's ambition for 2025 is not just domestic dominance but also success on the international stage, including the FIFA Club World Cup.
