Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has said it depends on the mood and situation with whom he will shake hands. After he had turned a blind eye to Jurgen Klopp, he recently shook hands with Carlo Ancelotti.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has said whether he will shake hands with opponents' managers depends on the mood and game style of each match. After he shook hands and hugged Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti in the latest match between the two teams.

Simeone was once the subject of controversy over his reluctance to shake hands or embrace Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, although it is customary for managers to do so. Later, Simeone revealed that he did not like doing things like that. As a result, many people understand that he has a habit of resisting handshaking and hugging after the game as well.

However, after Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win over Real on Sunday, 8 May, Simeone shook hands and hugged Ancelotti with a cheerful expression. It made many people wonder if they agreed and what did they think of the handshake after the game?

The Argentine coach revealed that "I shook hands with (Valencia Jose) Bordalas, I shook hands with (Athletic Bilbao coach) Marcelino, it depends on the game of the day. Whatever it is, sometimes we will accidentally meet and in such situations we usually greet each other.”

Simeone added that he has great respect for Ancelotti: “I respect Ancelotti, he is a great coach. He has won league titles in 5 countries and has a good personality. He always dealt with himself the same way no matter if the day was won or lost.”
