Diego Simeone is taking private English lessons with a view to becoming manager of Chelsea, according to reports in Spain.
The Argentine is one of the favourites to take over from interim boss Guus Hiddink at Stamford Bridge, along with Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri.
El Confidencial say current Atletico Madrid manager Simeone is even watching subtitled films to help improve his grasp of the English language.
Atletico, who sit second in La Liga behind Barcelona, are not likely to let Simeone move to the Blues easily but it’s understood Roman Abramovich views the 45-year-old as Jose Mourinho’s natural successor.
However, esteemed Juve manager Allegri is also believed to be learning English and his representatives have already held discussions with Chelsea over a possible deal.
