'Will be Leo's decision,' says Scaloni of Lionel Messi's future with Argentina.
Argentina's World Cup-winning coach Lionel Scaloni hinted at Lionel Messi's future for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
"Being in the next World Cup will be Leo's decision; if his body can take it for me, he will be there," Scaloni said at an event in Italy.
Lionel Messi will be 39 years old when the World Cup begins.
"Behind our title, there was an emotional communion of intentions between the fans, the staff, and the players, something that strengthened our sense of belonging to this unique shirt," Scaloni added.
