Legendary Argentine Lionel Messi has opened up about his plans for life after his professional football career.

Contrary to what many fans might expect, Messi doesn’t picture himself stepping into a coaching role anytime soon.

I don’t see myself as a coach. I’m more attracted to the idea of becoming a sporting director, but if I had to choose between three paths, the one I’d want the most is to own a club.

The forward added that his dream is to build a club from scratch and give opportunities to young players and people wanting to grow in the sport.

I’d like to have my own club, to develop it from zero and give kids and people the chance to grow, building an important club.

Messi’s comments lay out a clear vision for his future, showing a strong desire to nurture talent and leave a lasting legacy in football once his playing days come to an end.
