Simeone loses a member of his coaching staff for the derby against Real Madrid
Atlético de Madrid will be without a member of their coaching staff for the upcoming derby against Real Madrid. Alejandro Bonvicini, one of Diego Simeone’s trusted assistants, was sent off in the match against Villarreal for protesting to the referee.
The sending off was recorded in the referee’s report and Bonvicini will not be able to sit on the bench for the next two games, including the derby against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, he will be able to be present in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey against Getafe.
