AS HE MARKS TEN YEARS AT ATLETICO MADRID DIEGO SIMEONE AND HIS WIFE CARLA PEREYRA GIVE US AN INSIGHT INTO THE FAMILY MAN BEHIND THE FAMOUS MANAGER AT THEIR HOME IN THE SPANISH CAPITAL
We laugh a lot together! Francesca and Valentina are livelier and cuter every day. Having the girls brings us so many happy moments and I try to make special times, too, just for Diego and me, for us as a couple,” Carla Pereyra says, as she and husband Diego Simeone welcome us into their home in Madrid.
It’s the place where Diego, who’s just completed an extraordinary ten years as manager of Atlético Madrid, can relax and enjoy family time away from the pressures of international football.
This year, Diego and his model wife Carla will celebrate their third wedding anniversary – or rather, anniversaries. June marks the civil ceremony in their native Argentina; September, their Tuscan wedding itself.
Take each match at a time, in life and in football: that’s the couple’s motto. It inspired the title of Amazon Prime Video’s new documentary Simeone: Living Match by Match.
