    Seemed like there was a bit of talk a number of years ago about him eventually moving on, usually linked with Inter. There any reason why all of that seems to have totally died down?

    I can’t think of any manager who’s stuck with a top flight club for as long as him, Wenger or Ferguson

    He made Atletico a top3 team in Spain, also in the world for some years, he definitely is one of goat coaches.

      athletico during our peak UCL era was a menace of a team it sometimes felt like only we could beat them in the UCL if we didn’t make the final against them twice they would probably have 2 UCL’s right now

    The job Simeone has done with Atlético is legendary, not surprised he keeps renewing

      Feels like he’s just synonymous with Atletico at this point. Is he their best manager in history?

    I wonder what whoever finally take his position at Atleti will think. “Big shoes to fill”, but those are kayak sized. Like replacing SAF.

      If you think the replacement for Simeone needs to fill big shoes wait until you see the size of the cojones they need to have

    No other manager in the world can offer us the stability that Cholo does, especially considering our incompetent board and the lack of investment in the transfer market.

    Hopefully by the time his contract is up, Fernando Torres will be in line to overtake him. It’s just impossible to imagine anyone but Cholo being here at the moment, but eventually his time will come.

    Am I stupid or wasn’t there an announcement a couple of years ago that he was gonna leave soon?
