Whilst Madrid and Barcelona declined, Atletico built a team with insane depth. Jesus christ what the fuck is that squad sheet? This period will be his only chance to rack up a solid reputation as an all time great coach, imo.
I still won't rate him, though. His teams play like shit, struggle to score, and basically clutched the title against one of the worst Barcelona and Madrid teams in two decades. If this current Barcelona can still match up against Atletico's squad, then honestly I just don't fucking rate Simeone. The team would be much more of a monster with the Klopps, Tuchels, Peps, and Fergies of football.
