FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for Atlético Madrid Manager Diego Simeone in the match between Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid and this have cost him his Job after after Rage baiting Vini Jr on the pitch
Real Madrid’s number 7 and Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid boss, engaged in a fiery touchline exchange that culminated in both men being shown yellow cards.
The most memorable moment arrived when the Argentine manager openly taunted the Brazilian star, with the entire incident captured by Spanish broadcasters.
Initially, Simeone theatrically cupped his hand to his right ear and gestured pointedly toward Vini, essentially urging him to take in the chorus of boos cascading from the stands as he made way for Arda Güler.
Vini fired back at the provocation, which triggered “Cholo’s” sharp-edged response:
“Florentino (Real Madrid’s president) is going to sack you, you’d better believe what I’m telling you.”
After the match concluded, Xabi Alonso, the Merengue head coach, stepped forward to publicly back his player. His protective instincts had already been on full display during the heated confrontation itself:
“I heard exactly what Simeone said to Vini and I didn’t appreciate it one bit. You simply can’t speak to someone like that—there are lines that must not be crossed.”
Vini’s existing contract with Real Madrid extends until June 2027, though the prospect of a renewal appears increasingly remote at present.
The widespread expectation is that the club will actively seek to negotiate the departure of their number 7 once the current season draws to a close.
According to transfer valuation specialists Transfermarkt, his current market value sits at 150 million euros.
The Brazilian attacker has suffered through a worrying barren spell, extending his goalless run to 16 consecutive appearances.
He’s featured in 26 matches throughout this campaign and has managed to register just six goals.
He’ll return to competitive action on Sunday (11th), when Real Madrid lock horns with Barcelona in the Super Cup final.
