Gabi and Simeone's Legacy: Atlético DNA on the Bench
Atlético de Madrid continues to cultivate talent, not only on the field but also on the benches. Several former Colchoneros players, trained under the tutelage of Diego Pablo Simeone, are excelling as coaches in important teams.
Names that, in the future, could even take over from Cholo at the helm of the Rojiblancos. A clear example is Gabi Fernández, who recently took the reins of Real Zaragoza and has already achieved his first victory.
The former Atlético captain does not hide his pride in the comparisons with Simeone. Gabi acknowledges that, although they are different people, the influence of the Argentine coach has been fundamental in his career.
He highlights the importance of transmitting positivity and encouragement to his players, a quality he shares with Simeone. “For me, it is an honor to be compared to him. I have been by his side for a long time and I have learned a lot,” Gabi said.
In his own words, he seeks to transmit to his players that energy and winning mentality that characterize Atlético de Madrid. A legacy that continues to live in the hearts of the fans and extends through a new generation of coaches.
