Diego Simeone will love Atletico Madrid’s new away kit

(Apart from the socks)

SportsJOE

Diego Simeone is clearly a fan of black attire.

The Atletico Madrid manager is an intense, imposing and aggressive figure on the sidelines, and generally gives the impression of being someone you don’t f*** with.

Simeone’s trademark all-black suit only adds to his no-nonsense persona.

Simeone’s players will be hoping the effect works for them on the pitch next season.

The La Liga side, who lost the Champions League final to bitter rivals Real Madrid on a penalty shoot-out, have changed their away jersey from last-season’s navy to black for the upcoming campaign.

The gold and blue trim on the jersey apart, this is definitely something Simeone would wear playing five-a-side.

Maybe let him bring his socks though…
