Messi's Next Move: The Argentine Icon Pursues Business and Ownership
Lionel Messi is set to hang up his cleats, but his next move is likely to be behind the scenes rather than on the pitch. In a recent interview with Luzu TV streaming channel, the 38-year-old soccer star revealed that he has no interest in pursuing a career as a coach when he retires from professional football. According to Messi, his true passion lies elsewhere - in business and ownership. He believes that his success on the field will translate well to the boardroom, and is eager to explore opportunities in the sports management industry. The Argentina international’s comments come after signing a three-year contract extension with Inter Miami, taking him through to the 2028 season. While this deal secures his playing future, it also sets the stage for Messi’s potential foray into ownership. As one of the most successful players in history, Messi’s business acumen and football expertise make him an attractive candidate to lead a club or sports team in the future. With his wealth and influence already significant, it’s likely that he will use these assets to drive his entrepreneurial endeavors.
