Face of Atlético de Madrid since 2011, Diego Simeone has become one of the most emblematic coaches in current football. Winning numerous titles with the Colchoneros, the Argentine technician has also made a name for himself thanks to his very marked playing identity and his symbolic aggression towards his team’s play. Still in place thirteen years after his arrival, El Cholo is untouchable and is on course to remain at the head of the Matelassiers for a long time to come.
Asked by DAZN this Saturday evening after the snatched victory against Alavès, the 54-year-old coach abruptly ended the post-match interview after showing all his love to Atlético: “as you see me, I live in the present moment. We are having a good time and the players are working responsibly. I am calm, at peace. I’m in a place that… (gets emotional) that I love so much, and that’s it. Bye.» As a reminder, Simeone played his 700th match at the head of the Madrid club yesterday.
