Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone says he is attracted by the idea of managing in the Premier League and Serie A.
The pre-season friendly game between Tottenham and Atlético Madrid forms part of the 2016 International Champions Cup and will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia.
“He’s one of the three best players in Europe and a candidate for the Ballon d’Or”.
Atletico will also face local club Melbourne Victory on Sunday before heading back to Spain in order to prepare for the La Liga opener, where they will play Alaves on August 21st.
Speaking ahead of the ICC worldwide friendly between Atletico and Tottenham, Simeone spoke of a possible move in his future.
Both Pochettino and Simeone have been linked with the vacancy with Argentina national team and a job share has been suggested for both men. There are many other leagues that would provide some great challenges.
“But we keep working and fighting, and I am sure that this season, again, we will have the possibility of winning something”.

“The fact is, the commitments one has with coaching at club level makes it nearly impossible but perhaps that will be possible in the future”. “I hope he can continue to do well”.
