Now, they have been dealt another blow as Javier Mascherano has no intentions of coaching his former teammate Lionel Messi and his teammates.

The former Barcelona midfield maestro has different ambitions as a manager at the moment. Now, let’s delve into the rationale behind Mascherano’s decision to reject such a significant role.

Former Teammate of Lionel Messi rejects the opportunity of managing Argentina

Lionel Messi has reunited with some of his former teammates at Inter Miami, with Luis Suarez joining the team. However, La Pulga is not going to find the same success on the international level. Javier Mascherano was asked about managing the national team in the near future. However, the Barcelona legend has immediately rejected any such ambitions. He further said, “I’m not the one. I don’t know if I’m the right one. My goal is to qualify the Under 23 to the Olympic Games and coach the next Under 20 team.”

The 39-year-old manager has crucial games coming as they hope to qualify for the Olympics. They have games against Paraguay, Peru, Chile and Uruguay. The young group will hope to qualify for an important tournament like the Olympics, as it will help youngsters showcase their talent on a big stage.
