I would like to return to Argentinian football one day: Messi

Zurich, Jan 13 (IBNS): Footballer Lionel Messi has said he wants to return to Argentine football in future.

"Yes. I’ve always said that. It was always my dream when I was a boy, though I had to leave at a very early age because of my situation and it didn’t happen. I had to go to Europe, start out with Barcelona and make my career there," Messi was quoted as saying to FIFA.com. 

"But I would like to return to Argentinian football one day. What happens after that, only God knows," he said.

Messi has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or for the best player in the world for the fifth time, while US midfielder Carli Lloyd has claimed her first-ever FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year award.

FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique Martínez and US national team coach Jill Ellis have also been named for the first time as FIFA World Coaches of the Year for Men’s and Women’s Football respectively.
