Luís Figo, former Portugal international, made a mysterious post on social media this Tuesday, October 14, admitting that he wants to be… president, acknowledging that he always believed he had the talent to hold such a position, despite not giving further details.

“I always thought I could be a good president. I believe the 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 roles in Portuguese football, but his future may lie in the neighboring country. Javier Tebas is the head of La Liga, while Rafael Louzán runs the RFEF. What’s certain is the ‘like’ from the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, and from thousands of followers.

Luís Figo did all his training at the Alvalade club and, from 1990 to 1995, was part of the senior Lions squad. Wearing the green and white hoops, the former footballer scored 23 goals in 155 matches, winning the Portuguese Cup in 1994/1995.

He then left the Alvalade club for Barcelona, before moving to Real Madrid in 2000, and to Inter in 2005. In 2000 he won the long-coveted Ballon d’Or, cementing his status as one of the greatest Portuguese players of all time.
