Recently, Lionel Messi, the global star and iconic figure of Inter Miami and Major League Soccer (MLS), opened up in a recent interview and spoke for the first time about his plans once the time comes to step away from professional football.
The Argentine legend, known for keeping a low profile off the pitch, ruled out following the path of Diego Maradona in terms of lifestyle or post-football career. While he did not share every detail, Messi hinted that he wants to focus on personal projects and his family, making it clear that he aims to lead a balanced life, different from that of many former footballers.
His comments come at a time when MLS continues to grow in popularity and global impact, largely thanks to his arrival at Inter Miami and the numerous records and titles he has achieved with the club.
Does Messi plan to become a coach after retiring?
For now, no. According to his own words, his post-football focus will be more on personal and family projects rather than taking on formal coaching roles.
