Luís Figo, former Portuguese international, made a mysterious post on social media this Tuesday, October 14th, admitting that he wishes to become... president, revealing that he has always believed he had the talent to occupy such a position, although he did not provide further details.

“I always thought I could be a good president. I believe that moment has arrived…”. This is the mysterious caption, written in Spanish, that accompanies the black and white photo of Luís Figo – who recently shone at Alvalade – sitting on a sofa. Nothing else is mentioned in the post made about two hours ago on the Portuguese star’s Instagram page.

The former footballer has been linked to positions in Portuguese football, but his future may lie in the neighboring country. Javier Tebas is the head of La Liga, while Rafael Louzán leads the RFEF. What is certain is the ‘like’ from the former ‘merengues’ goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, and from thousands of followers.

Luís Figo completed all his training at the Alvalade Club and, from 1990 to 1995, played for the senior team. Wearing the green and white stripes, the former footballer scored 23 goals in 155 matches, winning the Portuguese Cup in the 1994/1995 season.

He then left Alvalade for Barcelona, before transferring to Real Madrid in 2000, and to Inter in 2005. In 2000, he won the much-coveted Ballon d'Or, which established him as one of the greatest Portuguese players of all time.
