Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami is going through a key moment in the 2026 MLS season, marked by the recent departure of Javier Mascherano as coach. Faced with the uncertainty generated by rumors and speculation, David Beckham finally clarified what happened and put an end to versions of a possible internal conflict. Speaking to CBS Sports, the club’s co-owner was clear: the Argentine’s departure was not marked by personal problems. “He is an incredible person, a good coach, the players loved him, but these things happen in soccer,” explained Beckham, ruling out tensions within the dressing room or with the board.
