Cholo Simeone remains the undisputed emblem of Atlético de Madrid. Since his arrival at the rojiblanco bench, the Argentine coach has built a recognizable and competitive style of play, leading the team to conquer national and international titles. However, his figure has not been without debates and moments of tension, especially in seasons when results did not go well.
Although his short-term departure is not considered by the club's leadership, future planning is on the table and includes options for the day when Cholo Simeone's cycle comes to an end. The top candidate to naturally take over from the Argentine once he leaves the club is Filipe Luis, current coach of Flamengo.
Filipe Luis, on Atlético de Madrid's radar
As part of this forward-thinking strategy, Atlético de Madrid already has a name noted that garners consensus both in the offices and on the terraces: Filipe Luis. The former Brazilian full-back, who left an indelible mark as a rojiblanco player, has made a surprising and successful transition to coaching. His current stint at Flamengo has been an impeccable introduction, establishing himself as one of the most promising coaches in the international football scene.
Cholo Simeone and Filipe Luis shared the dressing room for years, being part of a team that made history at Atlético de Madrid. This personal and professional connection is one of the factors that most attract the board so that, when the time comes, the Brazilian could take over the project. His knowledge of the club's culture, coupled with his ability to convey an offensive and organized style of play, make him a very appealing option to maintain the team's competitiveness.
Filipe Luis's current success at Flamengo is a strong argument. Under his guidance, the Brazilian team has displayed attractive and effective football, capable of triumphing in both local and international competitions. This success has not gone unnoticed by the Atlético de Madrid decision-makers, who see in their former player a coach capable of managing high-level squads and meeting the demands of a club that, under Cholo Simeone's leadership, has learned to thrive in the elite.
The colchonero fans, who have chanted Cholo Simeone's name for years, also show interest in the possibility of Filipe Luis taking the reins when the Argentine decides to step aside. The affection the public holds for the former defender and his embrace of Atlético de Madrid's values create a special excitement surrounding his potential arrival. Additionally, he benefits from being a young coach with fresh ideas and a growing track record.
For now, Cholo Simeone remains in charge, focused on Atlético de Madrid's immediate challenges. However, in the background, Filipe Luis continues to accumulate experience and successes that position him as a strong candidate for the future. If the transition time comes, the Madrid club could opt for a natural change that maintains the essence built over the last decade, trusting that the transition will be as competitive as the legacy left behind.
