Argentina coach, Lionel Scaloni has come out to say that calls regarding Lionel Messi’s future are not relevant at this time. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, now is not the time to talk about Messi‘s national team future because Lionel knows what is best for his career and he’ll decide what next in his own time.
Scaloni added that he is also not thinking about his own future, but the day he leaves the Argentine national team will be the saddest day of his life.
His words, “Now is not the time to talk about it. The truth is that I don’t see it as relevant. He will know what is best for his career and we must let him decide in his own time.”
On his own future, “The day I leave the Argentine national team will be the saddest day of my life. For now I’m fine, this is a dream place. I’m not thinking about that right now.”
