Inter Miami star Lionel Messi ponders retirement: A sporting director?

Inter Miami star Lionel Messi admits he hasn't thought about retirement.

Barcelona great Messi is in his first season with Inter Miami.

He told Olga Live: "I haven't thought about it and I don't want to think about it either. I want to continue enjoying what I do. I took an important step leaving Europe behind. I don't want to think about the next step, I want to enjoy what I like most, which is playing. It's a job that I love, I'm lucky. I have responsibilities.

"I don't know what I will do, I like everything related to football, I like being with kids, teaching, also being a sporting director, but I don't know where I'm going to go.

"Personally, I always had the idea of being able to enjoy Argentinian football, and even more so after being world champions, of being able to play for Newells. When I was a kid I used to go to their stadium."
