Fiorentina's Simeone drops Atletico Madrid hint: I'd like to team up with my dad

Giovanni has suggested that he one day wants to be managed by his father - but says it may be at international level

Fiorentina striker Giovanni Simeone has revealed he hopes to one day be managed by his father and Atletico Madrid head coach Diego.

The 23-year-old scored 14 league goals last season in an impressive campaign with the Viola, and has netted twice in seven Serie A appearances this term.

And, despite acknowledging that his surname has at times hindered his career, the younger Simeone believes he is now thriving and would welcome the chance to play under his father, either for club or country.
