The ‘cholo’ has been dimming the lights that have kept him here after a decade at the head of the hojiblanco team
Diego Pablo Simeon It is one of the most covered issues in Atlético de Madrid at this moment, and it is that apparently an area of the board of directors is already planning to put a substitute on the table in case something were to happen. The defeats in the League, the tight classification in Champions and the last elimination in the Super Cup They have put him on the tightrope.
All this is combined with several factors, such as exhaustion after many years at the helm, and the break with part of the fans that has been demanding his departure for some time now. So there is no other way, and at least for the white feathers the chosen one must be Marcelino Garcia Toral.
In the event that Simeone fails to meet his goal, the substitute is already being paid
There are many things that have happened in recent months and the stability expressed from the upper zone is not a fixed step. That is why from Andrea Berta onwards they have thought of Marcelino, a coach with temperament, who usually has a positive impact on his squads and who is trained to offer performance in a short time.
Just what they need in the Wanda, which as things are going is going to stay out of the competition for everything they dispute. That emotional shock that the act of moving the chair brings to the coach has to be the starting point; and at least that is what the organizers of the project pretend to believe.
Marcelino incorporates experience and quality in a single effect
The current coach of Athletic Club de Bilbao is surely one of the best prepared strategists in the country. Its structure is based on the 4-4-2 that has given so much performance in the capital. And as if that were not enough, he is a visionary who seeks to give opportunities to new players to refresh the background of this field, which is the sale of players.
With the Basques, he has already won a Spanish Super Cup title, two Copa del Rey subtitles, and is 90 minutes away from repeating the feat of a short time ago. The final match will take place this Sunday and the rival is Real Madrid. A good thermometer to measure the current level of what for many is the best project that can be presented to mattress makers.
