I am not Griezmann’s mentor —Simeone

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone says he has had a limited role to play in the stunning rise of star striker Antoine Griezmann.

Since moving to the Spanish capital from Real Sociedad back in 2014, the French international has developed himself into one of world football’s hottest properties.

The pair’s future at the club remains beyond doubt of the end of next season, after Simeone shortened his contract with the club.

“I don’t feel like Griezmann’s mentor, I’m just his coach who helps him as a footballer and as a person,” Simeone told reporters at a press conference.

“We’re helping an extraordinary footballer reach his full potential and I’m just like any other in achieving that.”
