Atlético Madrid

[Snape]

So I've been thinking - how the hell has Simeone managed to stick around at Atlético for nearly 14 years when most managers these days get the boot after a bad month? He's won La Liga twice, got them to two Champions League finals, and basically turned them into this defensive team that nobody wants to play against. What's made this partnership work when so many other manager club relationships fizzle out?

I expect it so partly to do with the success you’ve mentioned, whilst moving to a new ground as well

He also played for them

And probably the most important part, he more or less guarantees CL football and for them to go pretty far. The board will be very happy with that

They haven't started well this season and apparently they're looking to ship gallagher out on loan

A managers success can be helped greatly if his personality and character matches that of the clubs fans.

He represents perfectly the dogged underclass of the Atletico core support and how he behaves as a manager fighting literally for everything embodies the soul of what those fans experience through their work life into matchday.

A little off topic, but I think one of the primary reasons as to why Potter has failed so miserably at West Ham is he is just the anthisesis of everything the West Ham fans want in a manager.

They want a Julian Dicks, Paolo Di Canio on the touchline, not a Southgate MK2.

That fecker is 95% mad.
You'd be a brave man to try and sack him.

No hassle for not winning more as everything in La Liga is tilted towards the gruesome twosome.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Highest paid manager in Europe aswell

I know they pissed off a lot of blues a few years back with their antics, but I’ve always had a crush on that football club. Great kit, great history, the City of their city and I watched them knock the raggies out of Europe at Old Trafford in 1991.

And they have to put up with one of the two cheeks of the Spanish arse in their city.

Read the question then read the second sentence, and thought wtf lol.
Based on a 2 team league it's the equivalent of Aberdeen winning the SPL - that's whilst selling decent players most seasons.
Would I like his style at City - nah not for me.
Maybe the question is what keeps him there??
