Atletico Madrid manager Simeone in delight after a win

Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has been a fiery character during his playing career in midfield and as a manager on the touchline. His passion and involvement from the touchline were unparalleled in the world football at one point in time, as he paraded up and down his technical area in every game the club played, whether it was a friendly or a cup final.

Diego Simeone has been sent into the stand numerous times in his career with altercations with his opposing manager, the referee and the opposition players at times. A fiery football man, Simeone was a similar figure during his playing days, intense and eager to win a football game at all costs.

The Argentine is a defensive minded manager who sets his teams up to be devasting on the counter-attack. A smart manager with great ability to scout talent, Simone has a close connection with his team and is very animated during the 90 mins, barking instructions and trying to keep his players focused.
