Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is world’s richest manager with model wife

Diego Simeone is one of world football's greatest managers, and his Atletico Madrid has swept up a plethora of titles under his watchful eye.

The Argentine has led Atleti to two La Liga triumphs, a Copa del Rey, and even two Europa League wins.

However, the glaring hole in his glistening palmares is the lack of a Champions League honour, of which he has come agonisingly close on two occasions.

But Simeone has still pocketed a handsome sum of cash in the Spanish capital as well as keeping match-fit.

And he has bagged a stunning model wife, Carla Pereyra, who is almost two decades younger than the former pro.

Simeone met Pereyra in a restaurant in 2014 shortly after splitting from his first wife Carolina Baldini.

The Atleti boss has often kept his private life private, but reports emerging from Spain, in 2019, suggested that he had proposed to Pereyra with an engagement ring worth £4,500.

The pair tied the knot in a secret ceremony before a more lavish ceremony took place in Tuscany later than year.

Both shared snaps of the Italian landscape on their Instagram accounts to celebrate the occasion.

Simeone is the richest manager on the planet, and he reportedly takes home an annual paycheck of around $40million (£30million).

And the 51-year-old's net worth is believed to be around $130million (£97million).

While his salary is the main source of his income, Simone also has a partnership with Range Rover and savvy property investments.

That sum places Simeone's net worth above the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Mauricio Pochettino.
