According to Fichajes , Simeone personally proposed Filipe Luis, his former student, as his successor on the coaching bench.
"Atletico's board of directors has shown initiative in developing a plan to replace Simeone. Listening to Simeone's own proposal not only shows respect for the Argentine strategist, but is also a strategic move," said the Spanish newspaper.

Simeone proposes successor. |
Filipe Luis is currently the head coach of Flamengo in Brazil, making a strong impression in his coaching career. With a competitive, attacking football philosophy, he led Flamengo to three titles in a short time, with an impressive record of 36 wins, 12 draws and only 5 losses. More importantly, Luis demonstrated modern tactical thinking and the ability to manage the dressing room.
Not only is Filipe Luis excellent in his professional skills, he has also left a deep impression on Atletico Madrid fans. He was an irreplaceable pillar during Simeone's glorious period, winning La Liga, Europa League and reaching two Champions League finals with the "Rojiblancos". His deep connection with the club and fans is a big plus, making the former Brazilian player an ideal candidate for the role of captain in the future.
Atletico's leadership clearly stated its position: not in a hurry to change, but ready to make the necessary move when Simeone decides to end his reign.
