Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has bene tipped to become boss of Chelsea in the coming seasons, by former Liverpool star Dietmaar Hamann.
Despite his impressive start to life at CHELSEA, Hamann has suggested there could be a change in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat, predicting Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone will end up in west London.
Simeone, 55, has been in charge of Atletico for 15 years, winning two La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues and reaching two Champions League finals in that time.
‘I can see Diego Simeone at Chelsea,’ Hamann told Thunderpick. ‘I think that’s probably where he’d go. Even though CHELSEA won the Club World Cup, I think they’ve lacked a bit of steel in recent years and I think they’ve made excuses too easily and too quickly.
‘If it were to be Simeone’s last season at Atletico, I don’t think we’d see him for six or twelve months because, if you look at him on the touchline, I think that what is it, 15 years now? I think it would have taken a lot out of him.
‘But what a character. I’d love to see him in the Premier League. You know, after he’d been to Atletico, he won’t go to Real. I can’t see him at Barcelona. I’m not sure he fancies Saudi Arabia.
‘I think there’s a good chance we’ll see him in the Premier League. What a fantastic story it would be.
‘Liverpool? You know, when Arne Slot says style is more important than results, then obviously it’s quite the opposite with him because he doesn’t care how he wins games, which I like.
‘This is why I like him because, I think when I was at Liverpool, I think we played a bit that way. There were quite a few teams better equipped than us.
‘And then you have to find a way to win games. He went to two Champions League finals. He was very unfortunate not to win the one. I think it was in Cardiff at the time.
‘People talk about style, but obviously he’s got a certain group of players and this is how he wants it.
‘If he comes to Liverpool and he’s got some technical players, who’s to say he’s not going to tell them to give the ball back to the opposition and try to tackle them. So, yeah, I wouldn’t rule anything out.’
