Simeone Told He Will be Sacked if He Signs Ronaldo for Atletico Madrid
In what many have considered a warning, Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has been told that he will be sacked if he signs Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United this summer.
Simeone has been an iconic figure with Atletico Madrid, leading them through a golden era in which they have twice won La Liga and have reached two Champions League finals.
However, despite all the achievements he has under his belt for Atletico Madrid, his 11-year tenure at Wanda Metropolitano could come to an ugly end if Ronaldo joins the club.
During a friendly against Numancia on Wednesday, Atletico Madrid fans held up an anti-Ronaldo banner behind the goal and threatened Simeone with the sack.
“Simeone, Simone, listen to the fans,” they chanted. “If you sign Cristiano, you will go to the wall.”
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid President Enrique Cerezo, earlier this week, said it would be “practically impossible” for Ronaldo to move to the LaLiga giants this summer.
