The Argentinean maestro recently gave out an interview where he admitted that he used to take tips from Josep Guardiola and would like to start coaching after retirement.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 is currently a part of Barcelona and after spending a few years of his career at the English Premier League, the Argentinean star showed that he has all the potential to become an extraordinary holding midfielder.
However, after signing for Barcelona, Josep Guardiola had other plans for him.
The Argentinean maestro, despite being a holding midfielder, started playing as a centre-back for La Blaugrana.
Even though it took him time to settle in the new role, he eventually did adjust in a team like Barcelona and also managed to start the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United, which eventually Barcelona won 3-1 at Wembley.
The Argentinean star now has all the experience needed by a player.
He has played in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 during the time when they were at their peak in the Premier League.
Moreover, since he has played in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, he has managed to show the world that he has the strength to play in any league around the globe.
After joining Barcelona, the Argentinean star learnt the traits of the Spanish football, who try to move the ball around through short passing rather than playing it out long to the strikers.
Therefore, since the Argentinean star has almost seen everything and has also accomplished in Europe; therefore, he recently revealed that he will pursue a career in coaching once he retires from football.
The former Argentinean captain also revealed that he has taken a few tips from his former coach, Josep Guardiola, and will try to coach after his retirement.
While speaking about his desire to become a coach, the Argentinean star quoted:
“I would like to coach sometime in the future, and implement things Rafa Benitez and Pep Guardiola showed me. They taught me many things.”
“I have had many talks with Pep about football since he left. We have exchanged views, but the important thing is to listen and to use the things he's taught me in the future.”
