Lionel Messi Crushes Coaching Rumors, Reveals Unexpected Post-Retirement Ambition After Argentina Farewell
His influence was already noticeable after Eldense defeated Real Oviedo 4-1, when Messi posted “Aupa Deportivo” on Instagram. The commercial impact has also been significant, with around a dozen companies reportedly showing interest in sponsoring the club shortly after his arrival.

Inter Miami could become part of Messi’s future
BBC Sport adds that Messi’s ownership ambitions are also directly connected to Inter Miami, where he remains under contract through the end of the 2028 MLS season. His agreement includes a pathway for him to receive a minority stake in the club after his playing career ends, meaning his relationship with Miami could continue long after he stops taking the field.

That possibility gives Inter Miami a unique opportunity to retain one of the biggest figures in soccer history. Messi is therefore preparing for a future in which he can influence the club from the ownership side rather than immediately moving into management.

A return to Newell’s Old Boys remains an appealing idea for supporters because of Messi’s childhood connection with the Rosario club. However, the possibility has reportedly never been formally discussed, and people close to him do not expect it to become part of his post-playing plans.
