Highly rated Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone does have ambitions to work in the English Premier League at some point in the future, although the Argentinian is sure to be a man in demand if he does manage to guide the La Liga outfit to an unlikely league and Uefa Champions League double this season.
Simeone’s name has been heavily mentioned in relation to the vacant managerial role at Manchester United in recent days following the sudden departure of David Moyes from Old Trafford last week.
However, while the former Argentina international captain has interestingly started taking English lessons of late, the role at the Theatre of Dreams has just come too soon for him to seriously consider.
But according to those close to the inspirational 44-year-old, Simeone is determined to coach a team in both Serie A and the Premier League when he does eventually decide to end his spell at the Vicente Calderon in an admission that will surely alert a number of prospective club chairmen in England.
And in another interesting development, it is also understood that the Argentinian Football Association recently got in contact with the Atleti boss to ascertain whether he would be interested in taking over from the current manager Alejandro Sabella when he steps down from his position at the end of this summer’s World Cup.
However, Simeone has since rejected his country’s overtures, explaining his ambitions to further develop his coaching education in Italy and England after leaving Spain, before then finishing his career back in his homeland by taking charge of the Argentina national team.
