Koke draws similarities between Luis Enrique and Diego Simeone
Serving Atletico's Argentinian boss for more than a decade, the Atletico midfielder draws comparisons between two-time Champions League runner-up and the Spain boss, Luis Enrique.
For the perhaps first time in his
Atletico
career,
Diego Simeone's future is in doubt after falling behind La Liga title race as well as a fourth-place finish in their Champions League group with the
Spainboss Luis Enrique being linked as a potential replacement.
Being asked about the potentiality of
Luis Enrique
taking over at his club,
Kokesaid:
“I don’t know if Luis Enrique will be coach of Atlético de Madrid tomorrow, but Cholo has a contract until 2024.”
“They are different coaches. They have spectacular energy, a very clear message, they go to death with their team and with their idea.
“They are the similarities they have, then when it comes to playing they have their different concepts. With Luis Enrique we have more long possessions to score goals, at Atletico Madrid we are more direct.”
Being at
Barcelonafor three years between 2014 and 2017, Luis Enrique left his role to become
La Roja
coach and although he temporarily stepped down in 2019, he returned to his role even stronger as he guided Spain to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 and a second-place finish in the 2020-21 Nations League.
