Javier Mascherano's abrupt departure from Inter Miami continues to generate a wave of information regarding the reasons behind the decision. According to the official version, it was a personal decision by the Argentine coach, but according to The Athletic, this resignation had a trigger: a strong discussion in the locker room after the 2-2 draw against NY Red Bulls.
This would have been the breaking point in the relationship between the coach and his squad, which according to these reports had already been accumulating reasons for some time. Especially since the elimination in the round of 16 of the Concachampions against Nashville, a failure that raised doubts with the coach
Wear and preference for Hoyos
Everything ended up with Mascherano preferring to step aside and the club was able to replace him with Angel Guillermo Hoyos, who was the sporting director and is now in charge of the team. He is currently in better harmony with all levels of the club: owners and players, especially with the stars.
According to The Athletic, the details of last weekend’s discussion “are still unclear”, but “it was clear that tensions had been building” between the coach and the players. This deterioration had already reached such a point that it was unsustainable, which would have precipitated the departure of the ‘Jefecito’.
