I do agree that it is not a bad job by Simeone, dude has been managing that team for many years now and while there are some down years, he manages to make them come back and be better eventually. His system is not liked by many, he plays a very boring style of park the bus, and not only that makes it quite horrible to watch because it is not enjoyable, at the same time we have to agree that it works and if it works then he has no debt to anyone to make the game more entertaining and then lose, he is doing what he knows best and while it may not be entertaining he gets the wins and that's his goal.
So, I think he should be credited a lot more, he is an underrated manager, many who did less than him with better teams considered as better than him.

Yeah no matter what Simeone's system has worked for Atletico Madrid for many years. I also don't like to watch it though. It has been a really long journey with Simeone so far and it doesn't look like he is leaving anytime soon either. I assume Atletico Madrid board are quite contented with him now as they have extended his contract to 2027.
Maybe they aren't doing well in the La Liga this season. However they are really impressive in the Champions League and quite likely to reach the semi finals soon as well. They can even play a finale there this year as I see them strong enough to eliminate either PSG or Barcelona. I know Barcelona have been superior to them in the La Liga this season but things can change in the Champions League.
