Ahead of Argentina’s World Cup final, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni says he is unsure about Lionel Messi’s future. Both The Independent and Yahoo Sports report that Scaloni comments on Messi’s ongoing plans while indicating that nothing has been finalized regarding the player’s next steps after the tournament. The reports frame the discussion around Messi’s immediate focus: leading Argentina in the final as they aim for back-to-back World Cup titles. Scaloni’s remarks emphasize that Messi continues to surprise people with his decisions and performance, suggesting the coach expects another competitive showing but does not speculate on what comes next beyond the match. The outlets agree that the conversation is taking place shortly before the final and centers on whether Messi will continue playing at the highest level afterward. While Argentina’s priority is the upcoming match, the coach’s uncertainty leaves the question of Messi’s longer-term plans open for public confirmation.
