Further to the thread the other day, I've read this week that there are rumours regarding Simeone's situation at AM.
14 years there and he has done a terrific job breaking the strangle hold of the big 2 and been very competitive.
But a new leader of the club is rumoured to want to move in a new direction and new ideas.
His contract expires in 2027.
I wonder if we made an approach to him, would he be interested?

I do like the idea of a Simeone team, but the fact he can't speak English is probably too big a hurdle?

Simeone has been great at Atletico, transforming them into a consistent powerhouse behind Barca/Real. However, it does feel like his style has been found out, and is not getting the results it did a few years back.
That being said, with the way Arsenal are winning, and the lack of real flair/attack this year in the Premier League, he could come in and do a good job, with a new team and league invigorating him.
That being said, he is not for me, and I would sooner us look elsewhere, and not sure his want to control everything fits with the leadership structure.

The fact he would wind up opposition managers, players and fans regularly makes me interested to see him in the OT dugout... Could you imagine. ???

If he leaves Madrid he will end up at Inter Milan imo.

He definitely wouldn't take any crap from any prima donna players.
Question is whether some or all of Utds players are mentally strong enough to play for such a manager.
