"If he works in the Champions League, which is the highest competition in Europe, he can do it anywhere and, I don't know, you have to come here and try it and feel it, but I'm very sure that his know-how is unbelievable and his character and willingness will take him anywhere, I think. We have enough super-good managers here so I don't know, that will be completely up to him."
"Obviously there is someone that I look up to and learn from him in many situations and what is for me outstanding is his passion. I think for how long he's been in the game and in the same club with the same players, how you still have that hand and that capacity to transmit such an energy and willingness to win. It's a very tough environment that we live in and to keep convincing players you have to be extraordinary well."
Diego Simeone is regarded as capable of succeeding in the Premier League because Champions League experience shows capacity to coach at the highest level, and his know-how, character and willingness underpin that potential. Simeone has managed Atlético Madrid for 14 years, winning La Liga and the Europa League twice among eight honours. Atlético's defensive style draws comparisons with Arsenal's rearguard resilience, having conceded just three goals in all competitions so far this season. Atlético and Arsenal meet at the Emirates in the Champions League group stage, marking their first encounter since December 2019.
