Diego Simeone could move to Premier League says pundit
Simeone has managed Atletico Madrid since 2011, leading them to the La Liga title in 2014 and two Champions League finals.
He only signed a new contract last week to keep him at the club until 2022.
But Chelsea may soon be on the lookout for a new manager, with Maurizio Sarri’s long-term future in doubt.
And when discussing Simeone ahead of Atletico’s Champions League last-16 first leg against Juventus, Gullit reckons the Argentine will end up in England.
Maybe he’s coming to the Premier League one day, we don’t know
Ruud Gullit on Diego Simeone
“Maybe he’s coming to the Premier League one day, we don’t know,” Gullit said on beIN SPORTS.
Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole was working alongside Gullit.
And Cole reckons Simeone would be a good fit for Chelsea.
“That will be interesting to see him in the Premier League,” Cole said.

“I think he would [fit in at Chelsea], I think he would.
“It will be interesting what system he would play as well.”
Gullit reckons Simeone would want to play a similar formation at Chelsea as he does at Atletico.
But he admits he would need the right players in the squad to do that.
