Inter Milan 1997/1998: Where are they now?

Diego Simeone

A return to Inter has always been on the cards, so who knows what will happen next

El Cholo was a fiery midfielder who wasn’t afraid of a challenge and feared no opponent. The Inter fans love him, and his performances as a player show why. Simeone always put in 110% on the field and his passionate style resonated well with the ultras in the Curva Nord.

After winning the UEFA Cup with Inter, Simeone left to join Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Lazio revolution, where he won his first and only Scudetto. A return to Atletico Madrid followed before embarking on a managerial career that could yet see him return to his old home in Milan.

Simeone started out his career back in Argentina with Racing and Estudiantes before making his way to Europe, staving off relegation with Catania. Not long afterwards he joined his former club Atletico Madrid, winning La Liga, the Copa Del Rey, the UEFA Super Cup and the UEFA Europa League.
