Javier Mascherano has stepped down as head coach of Inter Miami just four months after leading the team to its first MLS Cup title. Citing personal reasons, Mascherano leaves behind a record-breaking season where Miami scored 101 goals, marking the highest for a team in MLS history. Guillermo Hoyos has been appointed interim manager as Miami looks to rebound from a rough start to the season. The team has struggled recently, including an early exit from the Concacaf Champions Cup, and has only one win in their last five matches.
