But as speculation about Inter Miami's new possible coach mounts, the official announcement remains under wraps, leaving fans and analysts eagerly awaiting confirmation.

Lionel Messi is on the cusp of reuniting with former Argentina national teammate Javier Mascherano with Inter Miami, this time as player and coach, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.
