Javier Zanetti spoke with press in his homeland about the current situation of the football in Argentina:

When asked if Messi should be asked  about new coach [in a chance to get him to come out of retrirement]We must seek the best for Argentine football. If necessary consult Messi and know his thoughts. Not because it changes his decision, but because he is a very important point of reference and should give his opinion on who should be the new coach. 

When asked what Argentine football needs to get respect…Transparency. The Argentine football needs to start from scratch. We must realise that football in Argentina has reached the bottom. It is a good opportunity for those who have this commitment, to do a good job. 

Should the Argentine FA consider asking national heroes to help?…You can always lend a hand if needed and I will. In fact I was talking to Gianni Infantino (FIFA president) on the subject. For now I’m at Inter as vice president and the work I do I like and it makes me happy. In any other case, if I can help out, I will and if they need to consult me, they can.

Is there a bias towards Mauro Icardi?…I think so. Mauro is our captain, is doing very well and has proven to have all the qualities necessary to be able to earn a place among the ranks of the Argentine selection. Surely, he will do in the future.
