As Lewandowski considers his final years on the pitch, he has been clear about not following his former peers into the dugout. The Barcelona forward recently reflected on his plans for when he eventually hangs up his boots, suggesting that he has no interest in the stress of coaching after decades spent dealing with the pressures of elite competition. Explaining his decision, he admitted that “being a coach is very hard.”
With a move to management off the table, the veteran is determined to make current his final chapters as a player count. Whether that journey continues in Barcelona, where he is currently on track to win another La Liga title, or takes him to the San Siro with AC Milan, remains to be seen. What is becoming increasingly clear, however, is that a move to Turin is looking less likely by the day as Juventus search for younger, more cost-effective solutions.
