You never know – Messi speaks on becoming coach after retirement

Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami superstar, has not fully ruled out the possibility of entering football administration after his playing career ends.

Messi is 37 on June 24 and has previously stated that he will retire from the MLS.

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, however, is determined to continue playing football.

When questioned by ESPN Argentina if management had an appeal, Messi responded: "I've always maintained that I don't see myself as a coach, and I wouldn't want to be.

"But football and life are so unpredictable.

"I still find it challenging. But, yes, something related to football since it is my life, and I adore and enjoy it greatly."
