Di María is now at that stage in his career when it's time to think about life after hanging up his boots, but Ángel has already made up his mind:

“I'm working on putting together a coaching staff with Leandro Paredes. I'm taking coaching courses to get my license. Our teams will play a 4-3-3 formation... Always.

Leandro and I have already discussed it. After we retire, we want to coach Rosario Central and Boca Juniors,” Di María revealed.

This summer, Di María returned to his hometown club Rosario after his contract with Benfica expired.

In the current season, Di María has played 15 matches for Rosario, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026.
