April 14 (Reuters) - ⁠Javier Mascherano has stepped ⁠down as Inter Miami ‌coach for personal reasons, the club said on Tuesday.

Mascherano, who was ​appointed in November ⁠2024, guided ⁠Miami to their first-ever MLS Cup ⁠title ‌and the Eastern Conference championship, ⁠while the team set a league ​record ‌with 101 goals across ⁠regular ​season and postseason play.

The 41-year-old former Argentina international also ⁠led the side ​at the Club World Cup last year, becoming the first ⁠MLS team to reach the knockout rounds of the competition.

Guillermo Hoyos, who has ​been overseeing ⁠Miami's professional development structure, will ​take over ‌as coach.
