Managing a first-division club is a demanding job regardless of the personalities involved. Managing a team with the world’s most famous player, Lionel Messi, owned by one of the world’s most famous former players, David Beckham, carries additional unique burdens. And it’s plausible that Mascherano, a great former player in his own right who had never before managed at the senior level, just decided the role wasn’t for him.

Here is Mascherano’s official statement regarding his resignation as Inter Miami manager, which became public on Tuesday . I want to let everyone know that, for personal reasons, I have decided to end my tenure as head coach of Inter Miami CF. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Club for the trust they placed in me, every employee who is part of the organization for the collective effort, but especially the players, who made it possible for us to experience unforgettable moments.

I also want to thank the fans and La Familia , because none of this would have been possible without them. I will always carry with me the memory of our first star, and wherever I am, I will continue to wish the Club all the best moving forward. I have no doubt that the Club will continue to achieve success in the future.
