Chelsea will look at Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone as a possible replacement for Jose Mourinho. NaijaBallers reports.
The Portuguese gaffer was handed a vote of confidence by Russian owner Roman Abaramovich, after a seven minute outburst in his post match interview following Chelsea stumble at home to Southampton.
Still, the club has asked him to reassert his figure in the Chelsea’s dressing room if he wants a long-term future.
But if things stay, Chelsea will now make an audacious attempt to replace Mourinho with Simeone, though that will come at a huge cost.
The Argentine is tied down with a new five-year lucrative contract at Madrid worth £22.5million.
The contract includes a staggering £15million buyout clause that could be triggered at the end of the season.
Diego Simeone is well respected for his illustrious work at Atletico Madrid.
He guided the club to a La Liga title in 2014, and also reached the final of the Uefa Champions League, while winning the Europa League once.
His domestic honors include the Copa Del Rey.
