Arsenal, please call Diego Simeone

Following Arsenal 2-1 shocking defeat at home to 13th place Brighton, the Gunners might really need to install new manager, and they must act fast on Diego Simeone.

But of all top managers, why the Atletico coach?

Despite managing the Madrid side for almost 10 years, Atletico only managed a sixth place so far, behind Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, not to mention six points behind leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid.

They could also eliminated from the group stage, with one final game against Lokomotiv Moscow.

It’s a stark contrast from how he won the La Liga title in 2011, winning Europa League twice and reaching Champions League final twice.

According to Marca, some board members are disappointed with Simeone and the current state of affairs.

With interim boss Freddie Ljungberg have yet to lift the confidence in Arsenal dressing room after Unai Emery’s dismissal, Simeone could be the perfect man for the job.

After all, Arsenal fans have always wanted to have a manager like Jurgen Klopp, which have similar playing style with Simeone.

However, Arsenal journalist David Ornstein suggested Ljungberg’s stands a chance to be the permanent Gunners boss.
