Xavi Could Become Lionel Messi’s Coach as Legends Reunite

David Beckham’s ambitious Inter Miami project is entering a new phase.

Details: As reported by TNT Sports Argentina, the club’s management is actively searching for a top-tier coach to take the team to the next level. Two prominent figures in the football world are on the Herons’ radar: Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez and Marcelo Gallardo, the most successful manager in River Plate’s history.

The reasoning behind these choices is clear. Xavi is well-versed in both the playing style and the expectations of Lionel Messi, with whom he built Barcelona’s golden era. His appointment could help recreate that Barça spirit on American soil.

Meanwhile, Marcelo Gallardo, known for his strong character and tactical flexibility, is considered one of South America’s elite managers. He has a knack for instilling discipline within a star-studded squad.

Both coaches are currently free agents, making negotiations more feasible.

For the record: Lionel Messi has recently purchased a Spanish club following Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer.
