Vercellone: The Architect of the Red and White Zamoras
Atlético de Madrid celebrates a new milestone thanks to the silent but crucial work of Pablo Vercellone, the goalkeeping coach who arrived with Simeone and has become a fundamental piece of the Red and White success.
Vercellone, a name that resonates strongly among the goalkeepers who have defended the Atleti goal, has been key in obtaining eight Zamora trophies in the last 13 seasons. This achievement includes Jan Oblak’s six trophies, an absolute record in La Liga, in addition to the two that Courtois won wearing the Red and White jersey.
Vercellone’s influence goes beyond statistics; his dedication and specific training method have transformed these goalkeepers into true impenetrable walls. Discreet and respected, Vercellone has earned the trust of the players, creating an optimal working environment.
His story is one of those coincidences of fate, since he was not initially on Simeone’s list of collaborators. However, an unexpected opportunity led him to Atlético, where he has left an indelible mark.
From his beginnings in Argentina, where he also achieved success with other goalkeepers, Vercellone has demonstrated his ability to enhance talent and turn his pupils into the best in La Liga. His work behind the scenes is an example of professionalism and commitment to Atlético de Madrid. A great one!
