Argentinian specialists Mauricio Pochettino and Diego Simeone know very well what it means to lead a club for a long time.

Mauricio Pochettino reached new heights with Tottenham, leading the club for more than 5 years. After that, he was dismissed, and the farewell, both to him and the fans, was extremely painful.

Commenting on Jurgen Klopp's decision to step down at the end of the season, Pochettino remembered the painful farewell with Tottenham.

The current Chelsea coach commented on Klopp's decision: "I was shocked. I was working a bit before the game today, then I heard the news. Very sad. We already miss him."

When I was fired from Tottenham, Klopp was the first person to send a message. I wanted to show my respect because his work with Liverpool is amazing. We need to respect his desire to rest."

D. Simeone, who has been at the helm of Atletico for 13 years, said: "It's hard to say what another person feels. In this situation, understanding and respect are needed. He is an excellent coach, last season he rebuilt the team, which only adds to his feeling of fatigue. It's not easy to win, keep winning, and win again, it wears you out, there is a lot of stress in such a situation."

He thinks this is the right moment, he himself announced it, let's hope everything will be okay for him. He is a football person, he showed what a great coach he is," praised the Argentine Diego Simeone.
