Diego Simeone has been managing Athletico Madrid for nearly 700 or so games if I am not wrong, which is quite a lot and something we do not see that often anymore, because most teams just change their managers like they are changing a sock so we do not get to see this many teams with the same manager all that often.
I think Atalanta had the same thing as well and they have seen the results of that too. In the end, I believe that we are going to end up with something different eventually, because Diego Simeone can't keep on managing Athletico Madrid for another 10 seasons, eventually something will change. Plus he is the highest paid manager in the world, that will not be fine with the team eventually, they may one day say lets fire him, get someone cheaper and use that money to get better players.
I'm also curious why Diego Simeone wasn't fired at Atletico Madrid. What do they expect from Diego Simeone. If we look at the history of Atletico Madrid while Diego Simeone was coach, they did not win many titles. If I'm not mistaken, while Diego Simeone was coaching ATM, he was only able to win 2 LaLiga champions, 2 European champions, 1 Copa Del Rey, 1 Super Cup, 2 UEFA Super Cups and the Audi Cup.
Is there no other coach who suits Atletico Madrid's style of play.
But Diego Simeone is also not a bad coach in his career compared to many other coaches. I think he's a standard coach. But Atletico Madrid must have big dreams of winning the UEFA Champions League. ATM has not been able to win the UEFA Champions League. Maybe Pep Guardiola is one step faster than him who can make Manchester City feel the UCL.
