#3 Diego Simeone
PROS:
La Cholo, as he is popularly known, Diego Simeone is probably the most sought-after manager currently in club football.The enigmatic Argentinian who did not fear to dream and broke the Madrid-Barca duopoly in La Liga.
The man who reached two Champions League finals in three years, only to be denied by a majestic header in one and a penalty miss in other. He also has a Europa League and a Copa del Rey to show for his time at Athletico. He has won all of this on a shoestring budget.
A former player for Athletico during their last title triumph in 1996, he came back to the club and made Athletico a force to be reckoned with, even after losing his best strikers to European giants at regular intervals
Hard working and tenacious during his playing days, he has brought those qualities into his management style and imbibed them into his team. The basis for Diego's success comes from his solid defensive unit. It was this foundation that worked in their favour as they beat Barcelona and Real, to the La Liga title, who were brimming with attacking talents.
Such a manager who gives defence more importance can do Arsenal some good. It should not be forgotten that when Wenger arrived on the English shores, he inherited the virtuoso defence of George Graham which played a huge role in his first two title-winning campaigns
Another positive for hiring Simeone could be the way he has always replaced the string of talents that have left the club and made new superstars, something Wenger used to be famous for. Sergio Aguero, Radamel Falcao, Diego Costa, De Gea and Courtois were all successfully replaced without much fuss.
CONS:
The defensive approach that has brought Simeone so much success at Athletico may become somewhat of a problem at the Emirates. Wenger has spoiled the gunner fans with some scintillating football over the years, and even the players are of the same mould.
So suddenly changing the dynamics of their game would be very difficult for them. For all the "treble" Mourinho has won at United, the fans are not happy with the dull brand of football at Old Trafford and most of the attacking players are suffering.
