He's the new Argentine Ferguson but now betrays Messi by preferring Cristiano Ronaldo and shocked

Diego Pablo Simeone has been technical director of Atlético de Madrid for 12 years. Since he recovered the 'colchonero' team from a very bad sporting moment that he was experiencing, 'Cholo' established himself as the highest representative of Argentine coaches in Europe. Although on certain occasions he is criticized for his football proposal, Simeone achieved good results in the Spanish League, where the vast dominators were Real Madrid and Barcelona. Despite the fact that the two largest teams in the country have been sharing the titles in recent times, Aleti was able to win two local championships.

The negative point for Simeone and his Atlético de Madrid was not having been able to win any of the 2 Champions League finals they reached. However, in addition to the leagues where he established himself, he also won a Copa del Rey (2012-2013) and a Spanish Super Cup (2014). These achievements and having kept Aleti at the highest level for years led him to be internationally recognized, in addition to becoming one of the highest-paid coaches in the world.

Now the player who showered 'Cholo' with praise was Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian recalled in his autobiography the Champions League series that Liverpool lost with Atlético de Madrid in February 2020. "Diego Simeone, Atlético's coach, perfectly identified our style and found a way to nullify us," 'Bobby' began by saying.

In that Champions League match, Atlético de Madrid won 1-0 in the first leg and 3-2 in the second leg. "It was our first defeat in 5 months, only the second of the season and the truth is that it surprised us. At that point in the season we felt invincible, with a united and powerful squad.

Diego Simeone, the new Alex Ferguson

In the Argentine Republic, a lot of controversy was generated when audios were released criticizing the National Team for its poor performance in Russia 2018. There he knew how to ask: "If you had to choose between Messi and Ronaldo, for a normal team, who would you choose?", insinuating that he would stay with CR7. Now the news has arrived that 'Cholo' has renewed his contract in Madrid until 2027, which will mean that he will remain at the same club for 16 years, a figure comparable to legends such as Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
