Premier League manager preferred candidate for Atletico Madrid owner to replace Diego Simeone

Atletico Madrid are a long way from separating with Diego Simeone as things stand, but they have started to wonder what life would look like without the Argentine at the helm for just the second time in 13 years. There are names on the table that have caught the eye of those in charge at the Metropolitano.

According to Relevo, Director of Football Carlos Bucero, who appears to be diluting the influence of Simeone, is a fan of West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, and Spain coach Luis de la Fuente. The pair were both represented by Bucero in the past, and certainly have strong track records.
