Atletico Madrid president Cerezo slams Simeone Ballon d'Or omission

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has slammed FIFA for ignoring coach Diego Simeone for the Ballon d'Or coaching award.

The Argentine is a shock omission from the nominees.

"I don't understand why Simeone isn't amongst the top managers. He's a sensation in Europe," said Cerezo.

He hopes his coach will be nominated next time around though, explaining that he's "very disappointed because he deserved it".
