Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is currently recovering from a knee injury.
The Sun in England said on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Simeone underwent knee surgery, but is enjoying his summer vacation plan as it is. He was seen in Ibiza, Spain, enjoying a swim wearing a knee brace, he reported.
Simeone appeared to be enjoying a summer vacation on Ibiza Island, a resort island with his family in blue shorts. Coach Simeone, who enjoys the summer vacation, did not look very well. I was enjoying swimming with a protector on my knee. When I came up on the water, my knees looked so bad that I had to move on crutches.
Coach Simeone reportedly underwent knee surgery immediately after the 2023-2024 season was completed. Although it has been 17 years since he gave up his active career, coach Simeone is said to have suffered knee pain throughout the last season.
Coach Simeone had pain in his knee throughout last season and was seen receiving medical treatment at the stadium. It is known that the surgery was postponed until the end of the season because surgery during the season would interfere with directing the players as a coach. It is a decision that Simeone's professionalism is a glimpse.
Now is the time to recover from knee surgery, but coach Simeone did not want to stay in the hospital in the summer when he could enjoy his only vacation during the year. Director Simeone and his wife went to Ibiza, famous for its vacation spot, with the help of acquaintances.

According to Spain Football España, Simeone will have no problem walking after fully recovering from a knee injury at the start of the 2024-2025 season. The Sun said there will be a lot of work to be done when Simeone returns to the team in the preseason. 'I think I'll be able to walk without help at that time, but I might still need more rest' he noted.
Simeone will have to work really busy this summer. Atletico last season had no spectatorship. In the league, it was pushed out of third place for the first time since the 2011-2012 season. Even if Girona's gust was fierce, it is a result that can never be satisfied considering Atletico's power. He also achieved disappointing results in cup competitions such as the European Champions League and Copa del Rey.
The prevailing evaluation is that reinforcement is needed throughout the team in order to show Atletico's strong performance.
Meanwhile, Simeone is also famous for being the highest paid coach in football history. There was a time when it was higher than coach Robert Mancini, who is at the helm of Saudi Arabia. Simeone had received an annual salary of 30 million pounds (about 52.3 billion won). It was 1.5 times higher than the world's best manager Pep Guardiola. Now, it is known that he has lowered his salary by signing a contract renewal in 2023.
