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

It is generally believed that retired players usually go through an adaptation period, accepting that their career on the field has ended. Many eventually take to the dugout, becoming head coaches and maintaining their connection with football. However, with changing times, this path may not be easier. Many believe that players today show less respect for coaches than before, making it harder for coaches to set rules and manage the locker room. Therefore, some players hesitate to truly take this step after their careers, and Tagliafico discussed this in a live broadcast.

Although the Argentine international is still in good form and may have a few more years in his career, he is 33 years old, and it is normal for him to start considering post-retirement plans. He confirmed that he is attending coaching courses but also admitted that he is far from making a final decision. "I am taking coaching courses, but it's getting harder and harder. You start to analyze whether you want to be a football coach, and it's really difficult," said the World Cup winner.

Tagliafico then further explained the specific reasons why he believes the job is difficult. His statement also reflects his views on young players: "The difficulty isn't just about managing the team and understanding tactics. Today's footballers are harder to manage and are different from before. In the past, there was more discipline, more obedience and hard work. Now I feel that young players are more like stars, and they lack discipline. For traditional coaches, it's hard to manage this kind of player." The Olympique Lyonnais defender also put it more bluntly: "Football is moving in this direction. I feel this way in France. Young people nowadays are disobedient, think they are stars, and don't want to learn. You want to help them, but today it's the other way around. Now there are 20 young people in a group, and only four or five older players."

It is certain that while every era is different, respect for coaches has always been an indispensable part of any project that wants to achieve great success, so Tagliafico's words also raise concerns about the future of football.
