Inter Miami among world's best teams? Mascherano's replacement makes bold claim
The new coach of Inter Miami is putting the club on a pedestal few in world football are able to stand on.
The new leader of Inter Miami made a bold statement about the club's standing on the global soccer stage. For Guillermo Hoyos, he has just become the head coach of one of the best clubs in the world. “Today Inter, I believe, and this is a personal opinion, is within the best 10 clubs in the world.
Not (just) in MLS," Hoyos told reporters Wednesday. "Why? Because it has it all, above all the stadium it just opened.
It’s something extraordinary. It’s a club with a very, very high potential. " Inter Miami opened the gleaming 26,700-seat Nu Stadium earlier this month with Lionel Messi leading the team in matches against Austin FC and the New York Red Bulls.
Who will replace Javier Mascherano at Inter Miami? Mascherano's abrupt departure Tuesday saw Hoyos take over coaching duties. A veteran coach who won titles with clubs in Bolivia and Chile, Hoyos was serving as Inter Miami's Director of Player Development before leading training sessions this week as the manager.
