Summary

Join SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs: liberopodcast.com. — Ahead of Atletico Madrid's Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, we take a look at one of European football's main characters, Diego Simeone. Cholo's impact on a club that were by no means destined to be in their lofty position has been profound, as have his unique and evolving tactics. James Horncastle, Jonathan Wilson and Miguel Delaney, chart Simeone's journey in bending Atleti to his will and ask what the future holds for one of the great modern coaches.
