Diego Simeone guided Atletico Madrid to the Europa League title

How the hell has Diego Simeone managed to maintain the pace and provide a stiff competition to the best clubs across Europe? For all those who complain about not having adequate resources to deliver the goods, they can definitely take a leaf out of the Argentinian's book.

Atletico Madrid's shock group-stage exit was unbearable, but Simeone has more than made up for it by guiding his club to the Europa League triumph. Los Coloncheros also came within touching distance of the league title, only to be thwarted by a Lionel Messi free-kick at the Nou Camp that tilted the title in La Blaugrana's favour.

While they have impressed in the second position in La Liga, Simeone needs to take the Copa Del Rey seriously. 2012-13 was the last when Atletico won the trophy and it's high time for them to give an equal importance to the tournament.

Diego Simeone recently confirmed his wish to stay with his beloved club. We can surely expect the Madrid-based club to improve in the seasons to come.
