The Atletico Madrid boss is joining our team to provide his take on the issues surrounding this season's Champions League

Goal, the world's largest digital football brand, is delighted to announce the signing of Diego Simeone as lead columnist to spearhead its UEFA Champions League coverage.

The coach, who won 106 international caps for Argentina as a player, has established himself as one of the best club managers in world football at Atletico Madrid, winning the Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Copa del Rey, and during 2014, taking La Liga title and guiding his club to the Champions League final.

As a Goal columnist, Diego will provide expert views on the 2014-15 campaign through an exclusive series of videos and columns.

In association with Nissan™, an official UEFA Champions League partner, Goal's coverage will provide unrivalled insight and analysis of the biggest matches and major talking points of the world's most exciting club competition.

Diego joins fellow experts Gaizka Mendieta, Dietmar Hamann, Neil Lennon, Quinton Fortune and Emile Heskey in sharing their unique opinions on the knockout stages with Goal's significant global football audience.

Graham Shaw, Editorial Director of Goal.com, said: "Diego Simeone will add a new dimension to our coverage of the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League, the biggest club competition in world football.

"Last year, in addition to winning La Liga, Diego coached Atletico all the way to the UEFA Champions League final, a fantastic achievement.

"To now have Diego on our team, sharing his knowledge and insight of that competition, is something that we are very excited about. It is a real coup for Goal and terrific news for our users."
