Although he has admitted that his son, Giovanni, has the qualities to play under his tutelage, Diego Simeone has dismissed the option of signing him in the future.
The Argentine 23-year-old, who scored his first national team goal against Guatemala, has made an impressive start in Italy with his club, Fiorentina.
"He is a boy who has everything, but unfortunately I will never sign him," he said on TV.
"I never want to say never, but it's very difficult to have your kid in the dressing room, both for him and for the relationship.
"If in five or six years he becomes a more important figure than he is, we'll talk about another situation.
"Maybe the day that I'm not at Atletico Madrid, he will be able to go."

It takes more goals than penalized in the series to live of the present and that is the reality

Sometimes Simeone seems to have smarts of intelligence. Surely they are casual. Simeóne is capable of turning mediocre players into good ones. He gets it because he makes those players play it a lot and work in defense like beasts. That, obviously, serves to turn mediocre into good, but it does not turn good into very good or very good into cracks. That is incapable. It is more can not have very good players or cracks, those leave because it destroys them. There are many examples of all this. Mediocre players who leave and have to return because they do not win out and good players who are going to win out because the Atleti system saturates them and now. The son of Simeón is good, it would be a mistake to bring it to Atleti. And he knows it.

What nonsense I see x here .. The children of Zidane hahaha .. Half of the first players have their children in the quarries of the first teams (enter x be who they are, ours have to pass 1 million tests) if they enter and one year they do badly to the street while the children "of" have the continuity assured ... About Ronaldo, as much as it hurts some, taking Messi out, telling me 1 player to score 50 goals a year .. Mbape, Neymar, icarli ... At the moment not Gentlemen and at the moment the Madrid can already spend 300M in a forward and even then it is not going to put these goals or joke. Things as they are.

In that, and as a coach, he proves to be infinitely superior to Zidane.

Man ..... we are going to compare Enzo or Lucas with the cholito ....... nor point of comparison. Enzo plays professional because he is a son of who he is, but as it could end up in a Ray Majadahonda and thank you playing there, because I see him in a 2b and justito and Luca, possibly has a goalkeeper for a Castilla but does not give for more ..... the cholito is a crack and the truth is going to be it is already, a killer top in Europe ... time to time.

Chapeau by Simeone is smart, Cruif and Zidane were not, you can not put your son in a dressing room, neither he nor the team will improve.

It's the smartest thing, having the son is not good in the field, then he misses two goals and the problems that he plays because he is the son start, if that is the case ... It does not usually turn out well.

it. is. true. because. there. are. a lot. of. quarrels. between. players. and. their. coach. so. may. be. he(simeone) he. does not. need. it. to. happen. but. there. are. many. teams. in. the. world. that. develops. their. players. to. the. higher. level. to. go. atletical. is. not. a. crucial. thing.

nobody wants your dad as a coach if you actually want to develop as a player. imagine the daddy ball comments. i think this is very smart from both of them as they can continue to make a name for themselves without any issue

Because Diego Simeone was a mad, he can fight with anyone on the pitch, that's why he don't want to react it on "Giovanni".
