Flick, Mourinho and Simeone to meet in Las Rozas with the RFEF
Mundo Deportivo says the three coaches from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético are scheduled for Tuesday in Las Rozas with the RFEF Coaches Committee.
This Tuesday, a headline-worthy moment could happen at the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas: Hansi Flick, José Mourinho and Diego Pablo Simeone may cross paths at an RFEF event. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the three managers are due to be there from 12:00, called by the RFEF Coaches Committee within the annual gathering that takes place around this time using the international break.
The meeting also brings together the 42 coaches from LaLiga, making it a full day of banquils under one roof. The piece highlights in particular the potential clash between Mourinho and Simeone, after what unfolded in the previous Sunday’s derby and the Atlético’s response on Monday.
Three coaches, one meeting
At Las Rozas, the article says the coaches will also have institutional appointments. Mundo Deportivo notes they will be able to meet with Fran Soto, the head of the referees’ body, so they can put questions about officiating on the table. It adds that, before the season began, every Spanish club had already received a referee to walk them through the new rules.
Tension on the agenda
They are also expected to be received by RFEF president Rafael Louzán. As the report explains, the get-together will be used to address issues they are worried about, including problems they face in getting paid their dismissal emoluments when they are sacked during the season.
