The highest-paid coach in football, Simeone has driven Atletico Madrid into a slump with 3 winless rounds and only 2 points—high salary, low performance.

Atletico Madrid's head coach Simeone earns an annual salary of 30 million euros, making him the highest-paid coach in football, yet his abilities do not justify such a salary. Atletico used to be a club known for producing top strikers, but now the "bed sheet army" has become a black hole for forwards; any talented attacker under Simeone’s management ends up underperforming, even the star forward Alvarez, who is a dual World Cup and Copa America champion.

In the third round of La Liga, Atletico drew 1-1 away against Alaves; young Simeone scored, Sorloth assisted, but Alvarez and Griezmann were silent. With this draw, Atletico has now gone 3 rounds without a win in La Liga this season, with 2 draws and 1 loss, earning only 2 points—worse than Premier League’s Manchester United. Fans are tired of Simeone’s tactics; this Atletico looks unrecognizable, yet Simeone’s salary remains the highest in the top five European leagues, making the club’s management decisions baffling.

After 3 rounds in La Liga, Simeone’s Atletico sits 15th, just one point above the relegation zone, a true example of high pay and low ability. Next up, Atletico faces Villarreal at home in La Liga and Liverpool away in the Champions League, risking a streak of 5 winless games. Some fans joke that Manchester United in the Premier League, Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and Atletico in La Liga are the new "big three" comedic teams in Europe’s top five leagues.

In my opinion, if Simeone doesn’t leave, Atletico will never achieve success and will remain the ugliest team to watch in the top five leagues. With Simeone at the helm, Atletico is destined to decline; La Liga now belongs only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Atletico’s matches have become unbearable to watch.
