Diego Simeone
Recently signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid but people closer to the deal say it is one of those that gives him a better pay raise and gives the club a better negotiation position until a bigger club arrive for his services. Influential figures at Chelsea are known to like him along with Spanish striker Diego Costa who made his name under the Argentine. Almost a modern Mourinho, having managed a similar feat to the Portuguese’s at Porto in 2004 by bringing the 2014 Spanish title to Atletico Madrid. Has also upgraded Mourinho’s reactive style of football and builds, what all say is an almost unbreakable bond with his players.
Negatives: Doesn’t speak English and it’s not exactly the fantasy football Abramovich craves.
