Argentine football icon Sergio Aguero, whose career was abruptly cut short in 2021 due to health issues, has revealed his ambition to own a soccer club. Aguero, forced into early retirement after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat shortly after joining FC Barcelona from Manchester City, has expressed a desire to remain deeply involved in the sport.
Following his retirement, the 36-year-old former striker has stayed active in the football world by hosting a Twitch channel, participating in charity matches, and serving as an honorary member of Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup-winning team. However, Aguero is looking to deepen his engagement in football by owning and managing a club.
In a recent discussion with Argentine streamer Coscu (Martin Perez Disalvo), Aguero shared his aspirations: “The truth is that I’m thinking of getting involved in a football club as an owner. I’m not going to say which club it is, but I think we are on the right path. I like to be able to manage, to help the club to progress, to build a good team, a good staff.”
Aguero’s illustrious career includes scoring 282 league goals across 508 games for clubs such as Independiente, Atlético Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona. Additionally, he netted 41 goals in 101 appearances for the Argentina national team, cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s greats. Now, he aims to channel his experience and passion into club ownership, contributing to the sport from a new vantage point.
