Martino coached Messi on two occasions: with FC Barcelona and Argentina National Team.

Messi has coincided two times with Gerardo “Tata” Martino in his professional life. The first one was with FC Barcelona, where “Tata” was coach for the 2013-14 season. He couldn’t win La Liga and was eliminated on quarterfinals from Champions League, which is why he quit after the season ended.

The second time Messi and Martino found each other was right after Martino resigned from Barcelona, as he was named Argentina National Team coach three months later. But after two years coaching La Albiceleste without much success, Martino was separated from his position.
