Lionel Messi deserves not just all possible praise, but everything he asks for, and the Inter Miami boardroom is definitely aware of that.
Therefore, after bringing his long-standing friends and former Barcelona teammates Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba to Florida, now it's time for his fourth friend - Javier Mascherano.
Javier Mascherano is set to join Inter Miami as the new head coach, per multiple reports.

The only difference is that Messi's ex-teammate from both Barca and Argentina will sit in the dugout.
Mascherano will leave his post as manager of Argentina's youth team to replace his compatriot Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who left the club after a year and a half due to personal reasons.
"Without a doubt, a familiarity with Leo and the other stars is an advantage in every aspect. I want Leo to feel comfortable with the new trainer and coach. We went out and spearheaded that. Leo gave me what I asked him for, which was input. But that was his involvement and engagement with me," explained Inter Miami's co-owner Jorge Mas.

Mascherano and Messi played together for eight seasons at Barcelona and also competed regularly for the Argentina national team.
