Will Simeone be the best coach of the year again?

Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of the Atlético de Madrid, was one of the club’s personalities who was present just a few days ago at the Wanda Metropolitano at the inauguration of the statue of Luis Aragones. It has to be bad so that not in many years, the Argentine will also have his own in that scenario. And is that if the Wise is legend, the Cholo It is also on the way, if it has not already achieved it, of occupying an analogous position on the altars of rojiblanquismo.

The numbers are what they are and the Argentine has returned to the Athletic to the elite. His eight titles and five runners-up in the last decade place him as the coach with the most trophies achieved in the club’s history. That in the collective, because in the individual, the distinctions also accumulate.

The list of rivals is great and we must not be fooled, despite the feat achieved by the Cholo, everything points to what Thomas Tuchel is the big favorite for the title of the Champions achieved against prognosis.
