Simeone would not be the right manager for Arsenal, Man United or Man City, says Carragher

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes Diego Simeone wouldn’t be favoured by the top clubs in England due to his style play, via the Daily Mail.

Carragher was speaking following the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night in which Real Madrid beat city rivals Atletico 1-0 on aggregate.

The former Liverpool centre-back said that while Atletico’s performance was admirable, and that he is a fan of Simeone, his style of playing wouldn’t go down well at Arsenal, Manchester United or Manchester City.

Carragher is quoted as saying: “I love watching him on the sidelines. I love watching his team play, their work rate and their effort, they’re a team of men.

''But there’s no way a top team such as Arsenal, Manchester United or Manchester City would want to watch that and think that is the type of football we want to play.

''The job he had done is unbelievable, I’m not knocking that or his record one bit because I admire him so much.

''But I don’t think bigger clubs will look at that and think that’s how I want our club to play.”

Real Madrid’s win marked the first time this season that they have beaten their city rivals, having played against them in the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey, league, and Champions League.

Following the game, those in the Sky Sports studio also spoke of the underdog mentality in the Atletico team and that Simeone was making the most of the resources he had.

The Argentine coach guided his team to the Spanish title last season playing in this manner, while also seeing Atletico to the Champions League final against Real Madrid last May.

Atletico’s season now looks to be over, with next to no chance of retaining their league title and having been knocked out of the domestic cup competition by Barcelona.
