Atletico Madrid’s manager Diego Simeone is one of the fiercest competitors in the world. His passion for the game and intense management has helped Atletico reach great heights; notably, taking them to two UEFA Champions League finals and winning two La Liga titles. However, the extent of that passion came out in his press conference ahead of their match against Liverpool in the UCL group stages. Simeone revealed that he won’t shake hands with Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, at the final whistle. “I’ve already explained myself after the first match, I don’t like the handshake greetings after the match as they are the emotions of two different sides in different emotional minds,” Diego said. DIEGO SIMEONE WILL ‘BEHAVE AS HE FEELS’ Diego talked about it being a custom in the UK but added that he wouldn’t succumb to the falsehood. “I know in the UK it is a custom and all about chivalry, but I don’t share it and I don’t like the falseness. So I behave as I feel,” he said. However, there is no love lost between the two managers with Simeone complimenting Jurgen Klopp on his managerial skills. He alluded to his success in Germany and England. “I don’t know Klopp as a person, but he is a great coach and has been great everywhere he has been,” the manager concluded. LIVERPOOL VS. ATLETICO MADRID IN THE GROUP STAGE: Simeone would have first-hand experience of Jurgen Klopp’s management. Liverpool have faced Atletico Madrid on a few occasions in recent times and the two teams have put on a show always. One can’t forget Atletico’s win against Liverpool in the 2020 UEFA Champions League, where the Spanish side mounted a great comeback [https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/2027135--liverpool-vs-atletico/] to beat Klopp’s men in their own backyard. Liverpool is sitting at the top of the group with 9 points from 3 matches. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid has struggled as they have four points from three matches and lie in second place. Porto has four points as well, and a win for the Portuguese club will be a disaster for Simeone.

Making his stand clear, Diego Simeone has stated that he will not shake hands
with Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Kloop at the final whistle.

Jurgen Klopp’s Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements

German football manager, Jurgen Klopp is currently the manager of the Liverpool football team. Back in the day, Klopp was a professional player himself and played for a few clubs ending his playing career at FSV Mainz 05 before turning into a manager.

After his retirement, he became their manager succeeding Eckhard Krautzun. He went on to manage the side for eight years, guiding them to the Top 5 on four occasions, with a best finish of 3rd.

He would later join Borussia Dortmund in 2008 until 2015. Finally, he has now settled with Liverpool and continues to manage them to this day.

Achievements

Klopp often implements the tactic known as the Gegenpress. Over here, if a team loses possession of the ball, they immediately attempt to win back possession. This is the complete opposite of the instinct to fall back and regroup for another attack.

According to the German, a well-executed counter-pressing system can be more effective than any playmaker when it comes to creating chances.

He described it as, "The best moment to win the ball is immediately after your team just lost it. The opponent is still looking for orientation where to pass the ball. He will have taken his eyes off the game to make his tackle or interception and he will have expended energy. Both make him vulnerable"

Jurgen Klopp's salary is slated to be £7 million a year and Jurgen Klopp's net worth is around £17.6 million a year.

Controversies

Jurgen Klopp is not a person who has been involved in many controversies. However, he has been known for his over the top celebrations, especially in his Liverpool tenure.

During a 2-1 win over Everton in January at the FA Cup, Klopp celebrated by running onto the pitch and hugging goalkeeper, Alisson. He was subsequently fined £8,000 and warned about his future conduct by the Football Association.
