How Atletico Madrid TOOK OVER Spanish Football… Twice

Diego Simeone is often forgotten as a manager… Lists of the greatest managers of the 21st century usually feature the likes of Guardiola, Ancelotti, Mourinho, Klopp, and Wenger. But Simeone often gets overlooked… But I can argue, he’s actually the best of the entire lot… He’s the man who rebranded Atletico Madrid, lifting two La Liga titles, two Europa League trophies, and a Copa del Rey, along with reaching two Champions League finals. During an era in which Barcelona and Real Madrid were at the peak of their powers – with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dominating the sport – breaking the Spanish duopoly was no small feat. But how did he do it? How did a 41-year-old who’d only managed a handful of games in Europe complete one of the greatest footballing rebuilds of the 21st century?
