Inter Miami have made no secret of their admiration for the great Barcelona era of the 2010s, and have done so by signing some of the key architects of their success. Now they might consider involving another member of the gang.
It appears Tata Martino's time as coach of Inter Miami is coming to an end this season, with MD saying this will be announced this week by president Jorge Mas and sporting director Raul Sanllehi. Their close ties with Barcelona could continue in the managerial position, bearing in mind that Martino was obviously in charge for a period. In addition to Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets have all landed in Florida.
Xavi Hernandez has been linked with the role, as have Albanian manager Sylvinho and Argentina under-20 manager Javier Mascherano. It should be noted that the Argentine outlet also mentions a wide range of names in the frame, including Tite, Joachim Low, Frank Lampard, Erik ten Hag, Max Allegri, Maurizio Sarri, Jurgen Klinsmann and Jurgen Klopp.
It seems unlikely that Xavi would be interested in the Miami job after distancing himself from interest from Manchester United and Roma in recent months. He remains set to complete a one-year sabbatical and spend time with his family before making his next move in the game.
