Diego Simeone is the face of Atlético Madrid and has been since taking over as head coach in December of 2011. But behind him is a man whose presence is as vital as it is understated. That man is Germán Adrián Ramón Burgos, often known by his nickname of Mono Burgos, with ‘Mono’ meaning ‘Monkey’ in Spanish. He is Simeone’s number two and much more important than you might think.

Between Simeone, Burgos, and Ortega, Atlético have one of the finest coaching staffs in the world!

[@TheTj500]

Seriously, you guys make the finest football videos on the internet.

[@Roscododger]

Except The Athletic lol

[@nahomamde8353]

@@Roscododger I think they're both owned by the athletic anyways

[@tipperary1082]

Had the pleasure of meeting Mono Burgos at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny.

[@wussup12345]

Tipperary hi Limmy

[@stevencooke6451]

He sounds as if he'd fun to spend a bit of time with.

[@Brunix7000]

Very nice limmy reference

[@janniside5128]

Welcome to Aris Saloniki German Burgos, i hope you can safe our season and make us bigger in the next years!!

[@12thMandalorian]

I strongly believe these TIFO videos make every football fan more knowledgeable and understand football better

[@rickyrick2330]

everything about simeone, his looks, his demeanor, his attitude, made me think he was more of a motivator than a strategist. this video confirms it

[@rickyrick2330]

@Ddhfacetyy the video confirms it

[@rickyrick2330]

@Ddhfacetyy its literally about how hes the real mastermind at atletico lol

[@rickyrick2330]

@Ddhfacetyy i never said hes just a figurehead lmao I said hes not as much of a tactician as people think the tactics come mostly from the burgos guy did you even watch the video

[@PotatoForABrain]

As an Atleti fan, the coaching staff is unreal. Simeone, Burgos, Ortega and Vivas is like a fighting team you never know you wanted

[@jcxkzhgco3050]

In Free Pang that's nice and all but we've been poor so far this season

[@PotatoForABrain]

@@jcxkzhgco3050 Well yes, the results and performance has been subpar to the lofty standards that we are getting used to. But tbh, it's a transition year and Simeone has even said it's not going to be cruise sailing this year. I think they need to be given more time and work it out. Simeone's work and passion should be rewarded with time and patience in the next 2-3 years.

[@jcxkzhgco3050]

In Free Pang fair but I think Simeone needs to adapt to other formations and tactics I think our tactics are going stale .. we did beat LFC tho ❤️🤍 aúpa Atleti

[@sebastianbardon391]

It was refreshing to hear Griguol's name. Pioneers like him inspired a multitude of coaches that we get to enjoy nowadays.

[@guerreropijao2782]

Griguol e cra.

[@rosacatalinamaestromay4323]

GENiOoo❤🎉😅

[@s.correa9370]

Good video as always, Tifo. As LaLiga fan, I think you should make emphasis on Bordala's Getafe; they are third, above Atlético de Madrid and València, with a very intense way of playing. Greetings.

[@billmanassas7746]

Happy to have him as a head coach in Aris Thessaloniki. So far he did a good job in his first season!

[@NoPerspective4231]

I just love the fact that you upload daily. I just had an exam and I feel relaxed after viewing this video.

[@b__c7538]

Not daily

[@Noticer333]

The upload Monday Wednesday and Friday and also a weekly podcast on tuesdays on their other channel

[@kustisivosavi7483]

Last time I was this early Forlan was still playing for Atletico

[@espben360]

What is up with Argentinian coaches and their love for analytics! Very interesting, and goes to show that statistics are not just for nerds

[@stevencooke6451]

If only they had worked with the national team, perhaps Messi and co would have at learned a major trophy or two. Burgos definitely does not seem to be a nerd.

[@orb5841]

He's quite the character, many la Liga fans will know that face. I find it interesting how advanced his video analysis skills are, to be able to view multiple games and comprehend that much information is something truly special I would love to know in greater detail.

[@GauravSharma-yx3ki]

That day isnt so far when Mono will finally become the head coach of atletico . Mark my words

[@lancinekeita4823]

hmm I thought his number two was his fitness coach. I guess Simeone just has a stacked and talented staff

[@rickyrick2330]

how can your number 2 be a fitness coach lol its important but how much of a differnece can he make comapred to someone adept tactically

[@miguel_aquatico]

Hey tifo, love your guys' work! A suggestion: do a piece on Rúben Amorim, ex-Benfica and Sporting Braga player, currently training Braga (he's only a coach for 2 years). He is not even qualified to be a general manager, his assistants have to take the press talks and such, but he has won almost every game, including Porto (winning the league cup), Sporting and Benfica (away, where they didn't win sice the 50s)

[@CYFL79]

The goalkeeper reads the game the best more than the manager because he is behind the whole team seeing the full view in front of him. I know this because I used to be a keeper. That's why burgos is good

[@vigilante7]

What an interesting character; please continue to find these types of unknown but influential stories.

[@datatalkshassan]

Needs more such videos, especially on La Liga sides!! So badly wants Tifo videos on the likes of Getafe, Sevilla, Valencia crisis and all.... There are so many interesting things in Spain to look for

[@Spursrail96]

What’s the chances of seeing a Tifo vid on Manchester City being banned from the champions league

[@TheBenchPressMan]

[@Rollerbear712]

Fuck yes

[@michaelonwuegbu2737]

This makes me think of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor

[@sigfreed11]

I want to see a documentary on the lawyer battle between CFA and EUFA! City won’t go down without a lawyership fight and it will be amazing. I wish I could see it unfold behind the scenes.

[@hagrid8538]

I would love to see a video about Thomas Müller since he doesn't seem too talented but he never fails to impress.

[@hagrid8538]

@Ved Kulkarni thx

[@shaikaftab1199]

You guys make wonderful videos. Another great one.

[@applehack97]

Burgos as a keeper had the tendency to position himself too far from the goal, which sometimes costed him bad, the best example beeing in 1996 when José Chilavert scored a free kick from the middle of the pitch when everyone was distracted and Burgos was caught way off guard

[@luckyluke1076]

Do Zeljko Buvac next. A man behind Klopp in BVB

[@dpcgooner]

Great video as always Tifo 👏🏼 Please do a video on Lazio and their exploits in Serie A this season. I have a feeling that they'll end up winning the Scudetto.

[@coldown_ivan4864]

He had a big influence from Ramón Díaz y Marcelo Bielsa.

[@eko211]

I hope he stays in ARIS Thessaloniki for many many years. He has a lot (heart, passion, work ethics, everything) that we the fans love. He is also already connected with us, the fans. Unfortunately, Greece is not good for coaches... But Senor Burgos will and must change it. ARIS needs a vision and conquer what the big money deprived from us all these years. Vamos Mono, vamos ARIS

[@magnusandersen9669]

So damn good video! I learn a lot more about the history on Simeone. Thank u and keep going

[@joshlightner9090]

Amazing video.

[@muhammadnabil4423]

Anyone can tell me the title of the background sound? Has a nice rhythm to it.

[@stevenrose86]

Simeone winning, "7 titles in 8 years" is an incredibly misleading sentence.

[@gu98marrafon174]

2 Europa League, 2 supercups, 1 La Liga title, 1 Copa del Rey title and 1 Spanish Super cup. It's correct I think you are talking that Super Cups doesn't count, but they are official competition so it's correct to be considered a title

[@dayaxqorax234]

Just like 90+ Barcelona titles are misleading because they are mainly copa Del Rey and super cups

[@stevenrose86]

Titles generally refers to league titles in English, that's what I consider misleading

[@amrshatlaa9617]

this is how football fans' minds work , if they don't like the coach like say "wenger" then super cups and shields and even local cup competitions don't count nor do they matter . when they do like the coach like say "mourinho" then all his titles count regardless if they're a one mach title or not . football fans are hypocrites end of story . for me they all count but the real praise comes from the level of the opposition , for example when wenger wins the facup against pep's man city in the semifinal and conte's (recently crowned league champions) Chelsea in the final then it's a bigger achievement than when mourinho plays his first team against Southampton in the final of the EFL Cup and wins .

[@aq8048]

amr shatlaa Copa del rey is not efl cup it’s more in the level If the fa cup

This is the perfect coach for England he was a great player, passionate,brave,knowledgeable,funny,leader, tactician, im not even from England but Gareth Southgate is not it sorry the other sad thing is Gareth is surrounded by yes men in the management on the English national structure.
