In an interview with Fabrizio Romano recently, Lionel Messi rejected the idea of coaching football when he retires.
“I would not like to be a coach but I am still not sure what I would like to do in the future” said Messi.
When asked if he will play for his national team (Argentina) in the 2026 World Cup, Messi replied; “The truth is, I don’t know. I have been asked this question many times, especially in Argentina.”
Messi has apparently not yet decided whether he will play for Argentina at the 2026 World Cup.
