Carlos Tevez, the idol of Boca and former Argentina national team player, made headlines again with his explosive statements. In an interview with Sebastián Vignolo for ESPN, the Apache dropped a bombshell: he does not rule out being president of the Nation or Boca. «Leaving Fuerte Apache and becoming president of the Nation… sometimes I ask myself that,» he said with a smile. And he added: «Being president of the Nation or Boca is a situation that fills any human being’s chest with pride. Those are two things I don’t rule out at all.»
Tevez, who often speaks without filter, clarified that now is not the time, but left the door open: «Obviously, now is not the time or anything. But tomorrow, when I have nothing left to give in football, I’ll see what to do. Reaching those positions is realizing how much you’ve grown in life.»
Furthermore, the former striker referred to his dream of coaching Boca. «Every situation comes at the right time. Without forcing anything at all,» he stated. And he warned: «Coaching Boca is not for everyone. First you have to win a local tournament, and then you have to win the Libertadores. Otherwise, you can’t be there, especially if you have such a big past at Boca.»
Tevez also expressed confidence in Argentina’s chances at the 2026 World Cup. «I think the back-to-back championship is something that can happen. We are all waiting for the national team to make a statement in a match and all of us together say: now yes,» he opined. And he added: «Let France, Spain come: whoever.»
The Apache analyzed Argentina’s next opponent, Switzerland: «It’s a very difficult team. They’ve known each other for a long time and have a left flank that is their strength. They know how to attack and defend. They are very versatile. They will play us on equal terms and they know that Argentina is in deficit.»
Finally, Tevez entered the eternal debate between Messi and Maradona. «They are completely different eras. I played with Messi and my dad saw Maradona. And he told me we shouldn’t fight over that. Maradona fought a war with them: it’s like, for my grandfather and my dad, he defended the Malvinas; and Messi is another generation,» he explained. And he concluded: «The similarity they have is that both Diego and Leo are two guys who, on a tile, go from 0 to 1000. Something you look at and say: I can’t believe it.»

Para mí, Tevez presidente de la Nación es lo único que nos falta. Con ese pasado de laburante y su rebeldía contra los chetos, sería el que les ponga los puntos a los vendepatria de la Rosada. Aguante el Apache, el pueblo unido y a la mierda los oligarcas. DALE APACHE, METETÉ EN POLÍTICA A RAJAR A ESTOS LADRONES.
Ke barbaridad! Tevez tirando billete nomas, para mi este vago es crack pero presidente de la Nacion? Ni en pedo, ya bastante tenemos con estos zurdos de mierda. Boca si, para limpiar el club de chorros. Messi le chupa un huevo comparado a Maradona, y el bicampeonato es de Argentina, no de la FIFA. Vamos los pibes! 🏆
