Simeone: I can’t guarantee success

Diego Simeone says he cannot ensure a repeat of last season when Atletico Madrid won La Liga and reached the Champions League Final.

Furthermore, the Rojiblancos boss reiterated that his team’s main rivals this year continue to be Valencia and Sevilla.

“I always tell the truth and I can’t guarantee we’ll repeat what we did last year. Our championship is with Sevilla and Valencia, so if anything happens after that then it happens,” said the Argentine after collecting the Miguel Munoz award for best Coach of the 2013-14 campaign at a ceremony in Madrid.

Simeone acknowledged that the honour was as much for his coaching staff as himself.

“This individual award is actually a collective one and it’s the energy of my backroom staff that creates the atmosphere.

“Since I arrived at this club the fans got behind me as a former player and then began to support me as a Coach, and along with my staff we’ve achieved a lot of important things.

“We’ve also sent out the message that we can compete, that we possess a lot of weapons, and our work is an example of how to re-arm yourself and test teams.”
