Simeone has been Atletico Madrid’s manager since December 2011, and it really is hard to imagine him anywhere else. While the Champions League win at the Nou Camp on Wednesday was a fantastic result, last Sunday’s home defeat to Barcelona left them 19 points adrift of Hansi Flick's La Liga leaders. And his very limited grasp of English has always been seen as a barrier to a move to the Premier League. But if any interested Premier League club wanted further proof of his managerial qualities, they should catch up with the press conference he gave ahead of the 2-0 win in Barcelona in the Champions League. If any elite Premier League club is looking for a new manager this summer, they should be beating a path to Diego’s door.
