Both Klopp and Simeone have a lot in common. Both are quite animated characters and have made their teams which were probably not CL winning candidates come very close to winning the league and have beat heavy weights (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich) in their respective leagues to the league title. What is amazing these 3 teams are probably the best teams in the world currently.

My vote goes to Klopp cuz Dortmund was a lower rated team than Athletico in my opinion. However, I am a little biased since I am a Liverpool fan.
 
Guardiola is the best in the world, but both Klopp and Simeone have a legitimate claim at the second spot.

Simeone needs to leave Atletico because he is getting wasted in the shadow of Barcelona and Real in Spain.

He doesn’t have the financial resources to compete with them. I would like to see him at Paris.

He has the personality to keep the prima donnas on a leash and use their endless funds to build a powerhouse.
 
Simone needs to leave AM, Juve, Arsenal and Chelsea options might be available for him in the summer. Should take the Juve one IMO.

There is a zero percent chance of Arteta and Lampard getting sacked in the near future.

He spent 120mm euros on a teenager this year..

And spent big on Lemar season prior. Morata

Costa was also a big money signing which didn’t pan out.

They def have been spending money

Zero? you a fortune teller?


Anything can happen in football, but Lampard is already on the ropes, Chelsea dont like patience and time and never have.

True, but probably not on net spend.

So to get big money buys in, he has had to sell his star players.

Its never easy being a manager when you develop players into stars only to see them leave.
 
Klopp is better, and a rare UCL upset is not gooing to change that.

Guardiola, Zidane and Klopp are, in my opinion the best coaches in the world right now.

Simeone is a very good coach as well and would probably take the 4th spot.

You don’t need to be a fortune-teller. It is clearly obvious that Lampard and Arteta are long-term projects. That is why they got the job in the first place ahead of experienced but short-term options.

With the sale of Hazard and the transfer ban, Chelsea knew there were in for a difficult season with the young players.

Similarly, Arsenal wanted a young manager who would rebuild the team and has a connection with the club.

That is why they went for Arteta instead of Ancelotti.

Both are 200% safe for now. We can suspend the talk of their sacking for at least 2-3 years.

Atletico does sign a big money attacker every now and then, but they also have to sell expensive players and rarely invest big in other areas which ultimately costs them titles.

Besides, it is extremely difficult for them to attract top talents that get offers from Barcelona and Real.

Simeone’s potential in terms of winning trophies is inhibited because of these constraints. He certainly deserves to be at a club that is not in the shadow of others.

However, he is the highest paid manager in the world by a massive margin and clearly doesn’t want to leave the club for financial reasons.
 
fraudiola has been playing football manager with infinite cash all his career.
not a top manager, that is klopp.

1) he got mainz promoted from second to first division. klopp considers this his biggest managerial acheivement.
2) won bundesliga with NOT bayern. (dortmund)
3) cl with liverpool and now a premierleague, vs a team that financially cheated and still is second with 25 points.
