Tagliafico: It's getting harder and harder for retired players to become coaches.

Argentine international Tagliafico stated in a live broadcast that transitioning to coaching after retirement is becoming increasingly difficult.

It's widely believed that retired players typically go through an adjustment period, accepting the end of their on-field career. Many eventually move to the coaching bench, becoming head coaches and maintaining a connection with football. However, with changing times, this path isn't necessarily easier. Many believe that players today don't respect coaches as much as they used to, making it more difficult for coaches to establish rules and manage the locker room. Therefore, some players hesitate to take this step after their professional careers end, a point Tagliafico addressed in a live broadcast.

Although the Argentine international is still in good form and may have several more years in his career, he's 33 years old, so it's normal for him to start considering his post-retirement plans. He confirmed that he's taking coaching courses, but also admitted that he's still a long way from making a final decision. "I'm taking coaching courses, but it's getting harder and harder. You start analyzing whether or not you want to be a football coach, and it's really difficult," the World Cup winner said.

Tagliafico then further explained the specific reasons why he felt the job was difficult. His words also reflected his views on young players: "It's not just about managing a team and understanding tactics. Today's football players are harder to manage than before. Before, there was more emphasis on discipline, obedience, and hard work. Now, I feel that young players are more like stars and lack discipline. For traditional coaches, managing these kinds of players is very difficult." The Marseille defender put the topic more bluntly: "Football is moving in this direction. I felt this way when I was in France. Young people today are disobedient, think they're stars, and don't want to learn. You want to help them, but today it's the other way around. Now, in a group of 20 young players, there are only four or five older players."

It is certain that, although every era is different, respect for the coach is always an indispensable part of any project that wants to achieve great success. Therefore, Tagliafico's words make people worry about the future of football.
