Diego Simeone has interest in one day managing Lazio.

Simeone was at Lazio from 1999-2003, during which he won the club’s second-ever Serie A title in his first season. Simeone finished his time at Lazio having made 90 league appearances and scoring 15 goals.

“I have many friends in Rome, and I’m sure that one day I’ll coach Lazio, because that’s life,” Simeone said. “It happened when I went to a club like Atletico Madrid, where I had been [as a player] and given my everything to do well, so it could also happen with Lazio. I’m convinced that you go back to those places where you have a past as a player. I behave the same way in football and in life. I will return to Lazio, it’s only a matter of time. Right now I’m very happy at Atletico Madrid, but life is long, and one day I’ll be there, dressed in black as always.”
