Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi has openly stated where and in what role he sees himself after his retirement. From his words, it's clear that the anticipated "Messi - Coach" scenario isn't yet close to him.
The living legend of world football admitted that the idea of coaching really looks pleasant. But if he had to make a choice, he would prefer to choose another path - to become the owner of the club. For Messi, this is not just a "position for reputation," but a big project: building his club from scratch, gradually growing it, creating a system.
"To be honest, I don't see myself as a coach. I like the idea of becoming a coach, but if I have to choose, I prefer to be the owner of the club," Messi commented.
He emphasized that the most inspiring aspect is giving opportunities to young players. That is, from scouting to academy, from conditions to motivation - paving the way for someone to grow, work on themselves, and achieve big goals. For Messi, this process is "what I like and attract the most."
In short, even if Messi leaves the field, he doesn't want to go far from football. But he wants to be at the beginning of a big project - on the side of building a club, educating young people, and writing a new history, and not behind the "tactical board." Now the question is one: in which country and when will this dream become reality?
