Messi is not sure to attend the 2026 World Cup, declares he will not be a coach

Expert Fabrizio Romano recently traveled to Miami, USA, to interview Lionel Messi for “433”. The captain of the Argentine national team spoke freely about his upcoming goals.

Asked about the Italian transfer expert's future, Messi admitted he is not thinking about a coaching role and is only focused on the present.

“I don't think I want to be a coach, but I'm still not sure what I want to do in the future.

I value everything I do every day much more than before. So I just think about playing football, training and having fun.”

Recently, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are said to want to set a record of 6 World Cup appearances.

However, talking to Romano, Messi once again emphasized that he is still not sure about anything about the 2026 World Cup.

“The truth is I don’t know, even though I’ve been asked many times, especially in Argentina,” Messi said. He waited for his body’s and his emotions to react before deciding.

“I hope to finish the season well, then have a good pre-season. From there I want to see what happens, see how I feel.

A lot of things happen in football. There is still a long way to go so I don't think about it too much. I live day by day without thinking too much about the future."

Messi is recognized as one of the greatest players in the history of world football, with a huge legacy.

“Let people remember me the way they want. I am very grateful for my career and for achieving everything I have by the grace of God.”, Leo replied about the legacy Romano mentioned.

He is happy to have everything: “My biggest dream was to win the World Cup, a tournament that I fought for a long time and had to work very hard for. I am very lucky to have won everything with Barcelona, ​​​​​​with the Argentina team, to have a wonderful life and a wonderful family”.

Messi is aiming for his first Major League Soccer (MLS) title with Inter Miami.

“We are very happy and celebrating the achievement (Supporters' Shield), because it was something difficult and important. We know that the real trophy we want is MLS.

During the year, we made a lot of basic mistakes that could have been avoided. That cannot happen in the playoffs because it can lead to elimination. I think Inter Miami is one of the favorites to win the championship.”
