Messi Prefers sporting director role, not interested in Coaching.
Lionel Messi has no plans to become a coach when he retires from playing, saying he is more interested in being a director of football than working in the unforgiving world of football management. "I don't see myself as a coach, perhaps a sporting director to hire players I want or that the club that I'm at needs,"Messi said in an interview with Spanish network La Sasta "I would like to tell the Barca fans that I'm not sure whether I'll leave or not but hypothetically speaking, I would like to leave in the best possible way" "I'd like to return one day, I'd like to return to the city to work for the club and contribute". #theballman
