Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has paid tribute to coach Diego Simeone.

Atletico are currently clear at the top of the LaLiga table and for many are favourites for this season's title.

Cerezo said, "I can only speak wonders. I have had the great opportunity to have Cholo three times: when he came as a player the first time, when he came the second time, when I was already president, and the third time, as a coach.

"Apart from the fact that he is a personal friend of mine, that I love him and also his family, and that I have a great relationship with him, he is one of the most charismatic coaches in Europe and one of the best in the world.

"We are very proud that he continues to be our coach and I hope he will be for many years."
