Lionel Messi has revealed that he plans to return to Barcelona and be part of the technical team after retiring from playing football.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner was forced out at Camp Nou after spending eighteen years with the Spanish giants, and moved to PSG.
Despite the departure in the summer, Messi has reiterated his affection for the Blaugrana and revealed his intention to be in the club’s senior management as technical secretary.
“Yes, I always said that I would like to come back to help the club in whatever way,” Messi told Diario Sport.
“I want to be useful and help so that the club is doing well. I would love to be a technical secretary, but I don’t know if it will be at Barcelona.
“I would like to return to the club to contribute what I can because I love [Barcelona] and I would love them to keep doing well, to continue growing and to continue to be among the best in the world.”
