If Simeone and Atleti did divorce, who would be the ideal replacement for him? I think it’s a tricky one… (Dougie)

Replacing Simeone at Atleti is like replacing Wenger at Arsenal: it can sound like a good idea, but in reality can lead to something far worse if there's not a solid plan in mind.

As an atleti fan i can state my opinion on this talk about simeone not being upto the task 1.our defence is injuried 2.xg tell the different story about his tactics 3.just remember where we were before him 4.we shouldn't repeat the same mistake that arsenal made

Recruitment has been so weird at times. They have had such a clear style of playing that you would think it easier to identify transfer targets. But at times the opposite seems to be the case.

Atleti fan here. If Simeone stays, we need to sign players that fit his 442 grit and grind style. Players with strong character who are willing to work hard on defense, no matter what position the play. Right now we have gone too far from that idea. That is just my opinion, but it is true that the team did very well playing 352 the first half of last season. 2021 whole was a disaster if you look at the raw numbers, we only won the league because of the first half

I mean, he led them to a league title less than 12 months ago? This isn't a situation like the one Arsenal had, in which they went 10 years without another league title. Sure, there might be a coach out there whom is able to lead Atletico to even greater things, but why would you be willing to take that risk now? Why wouldn't you believe Simeone is able to turn it around again?

Yeah, Time for Sean Dyche to take over...if they thought Diego packed the bus wait till they see the Great Wall Of Burnley.

(Atleti fan) I think one of the big points that often goes unmentioned is how many managers wanted to leave here almost as soon as they got here after realizing how difficult it is to work with our majority owner, Gil. One of the reasons Simeone has lasted so long here is because he's one of the few managers willing to put up with Gil. I don't think there any established managers who would be willing to deal with him and our sporting director (i.e. not having much say in transfers), and besides that they might find it hard to succeed without the full backing of the board you get at a lot of other big clubs. Soon enough, we have a never-ending coaching carousel reminiscent of the pre-Simeone days, sink back down into midtable mediocrity, and then we have to hope our board doesn't continue to screw things even more since they no longer have the yearly UCL/top 4 money to work with. If we are to bring a new manager, it needs to be someone who's not only excellent and already suits our style, but also someone who's used to working with what's given to him rather than bringing in what he needs. All of this is precisely why, as long as Simeone lives, I'd rather he stay. One small downturn does not undo how much we've grown under Cholo these past 10 years.

Atletico fans backing Diego "el cholo" Simeone Dougie : intense war flashbacks

The reason why im ready to see Simeone leave is because he plays favorites. It shows with Koke & Suarez who have played terribly multiple games in a row but still start over guys who can play better with more energy and creativity

The reason why some Atletico Madrid fans don't want Diego Simeone to leave Atletico is because of the success Atletico achieved during his tenure. They are grateful for his contributions to the club ( which is good ). But the reason why people like me think why Diego Simeone should leave is because we feel that Atletico Madrid is underachieving with the talent that the squad possess, the is because Simeone defensive mindedness stifles and underutilises the attacking capabilities of the squad. Hence why they are have underachieved in the previous Champions League seasons.

Patients is the key, this is something new to Atletico from the players to the coach. This is basically a rebuild not of players but tactics. The injuries and covid haven't helped the new changes but if the Atletico family can be patient it will pay off. Even if a new manager comes in the answer would be the same of patients.

For what he's done for the club he's should be allowed the season at least.

Somewhere right now Dougie is nervously sweating and repeatedly refreshing his Twitter DMs...

That 2016 Road to final was one of the best, as we beat prime barca,bayern and loosing to real on pens

I think his defensive approach can knock man utd out

Viva Cholo! I’d rather get relegated than to sack him

Simione is a legend that changed Athletico and if he is replaced without a plan can be a disaster

Simeone took an above average team and turned it into the top 10 best football teams in Europe, It's like saying Newcastle will make it to UCL finals twice in the next 6 years. Despite having an inadequate season this year i have no doubt that a mastermind like him can bounce back.

In the lasf few years, defensive-minded coaches have not had relative success e.g Jose Mourinho, Diego Simeone etc

Sad that he never won the UCL with Atletico😔

I think we just are on a streak of bad luck. Not to worry, I am sure Simeone will be there for another few. If there is a change of management, i would like Marcelo bielsa to take over, given our purchases in attack and his adamant nature for it. Will be a crazy turn around imo

Nah let him stay he still has alot to offer just won the league last season . He is going through a rough patch and that is okay. I think this narrative too much its not like they failed to get through to the knockout stages of the ucl (and they are probably going to beat manutd anyway) and as of the league standing half of the season is still ahead of us. Am a realmadrid fan and i dont mind seeing Atletico fail but it would ruin the madrid derby and thats just sad . Simeone leaves and they will be mid table club for atleast 5yrs

If it is not broken you do not fix it , he as made them a force and had a decade of pure magic , careful what you wish for grass is not alway's greener on the other side . Sick of seing poch's name mentioned he's won nothing ! Manage get PSG 2nd he had spur's 3rd in a 2 horse title race . Playing nice football but having no success isn't a top manager . Top manager's win things like A.madrid's main man replacing him could set the club back year's

Shame your focus was on some bogus transfer stats and not on the bigger picture. You never should have questioned him.

Straight out answer yes

Atleti just need to fix its transfer business, Simeone was able to bring success with limited budget but somehow fall short with in recent years with high profile big money sign in.

Athleti was nothing before him and he turned the club around they need to give him a life time contract

Very good

A video like this for arteta please

Am an atleti fan And he has to go blood he has to go blood He done a lot of stun for us but its time to change our game plan and try to win a game insted of backing of like that one vs man city

2:00 no mention of Sergio Aguero?

I’m all in for Marcelo bielsa!!!!

Come on idk why yall being ass to this man this coach deserves a respect he brought Aleti back where they belong and he need players more defense

As an Atleti fan, I can say its a good informed and neutral analysis Dougie. Don't need to worry about the twitter trolls here I guess

10 years of success should not be thrown away because of one poor season, as long as he gets that CL qualification spot all the european big leagues would consider that a success. engish team have been living off the 4th place trophy for over a deacde themselves, throwing away FA cup and league cup runs for it lol.

You should do a video about if lazio are making any progress under maurizio sarri. Would be an interesting video

Come to Scotland Diego

They would be stupid to get rid of him

Simeone will win a title next season, its just a Slump in performance honestly, no need to replace him

Yeah but, where would he go?

No one is sacking cholo, he is God for us

The man does not have a minimum idea of how to handle talent and no constructive plan of attacking football. The best he can do for the club is to resign.

If someone leaves honestly we would be lost for years

Typical fucking ignorance. English media is always so destructively critical of Atleti as usual. You are questioning whether Simeone's time is up when he only won Atleti's 11th LaLiga title ever recently. Atleti will fade into permanent mediocrity if Simeone is "sacked". But Euro Football Daily are the "experts" so I must be wrong

Barca were right to ditch Luis Suarez. He was in decline during his last two seasons at Barca and no longer worth the money he cost them in wages

This ain’t England they won’t Sack their manager just because they wind blew too hard lmao give me a break

Christophe Galtier

Is this just another video talking about stats from Transfermarkt?

Simeone and Jose are running out of time because their tactics are not suited for the modern game , the players now a days are not developed to a single style of play , today the defender needs to be good not only in defence but also with the ball. And Simeone and Jose like players that only do one job which is making it difficult for them and both of them have not evolved one bit accordingly to the game. Simeone is the highest paid manager in the world and he produces garbage football and his mentality is still thinking of his team as underdog which they are not . The fans are still behind him because they also think they are underdogs to Real and Barca but that is not case.

This channel hates real Madrid, seconds away from embarrassing real, how would losing 1-0 to atletico madrid be embarrassing

First

No need he is =Atleti

They only won Last year because the good teams were handicapped in players, and even then they almost lost it close to the end, sad truth, I want simeone out he just defends, and never uses his attack potential fully.

Boooooooring

Come to arsenal 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Simeone will go to a Club like Inter milan, Juventus, or Arsenal.

I agree he should leave he is becoming Jose Mourinho now day u need attacking minded coach not defensive minded coach he is wasting talents like Felix lemar lorente and carranco and correa shit coach now in present

He should go to Manchester United
