Del Bosque: Simeone is The Best

fifa.noJSVideoMessage “I didn’t think I’d have to vote this season, but it looks like I’m going to have to start giving it some thought,” said Vicente del Bosque with a wry smile, reflecting on a task he is more than familiar with. During his time as Spain coach, in which he steered La Roja to glory at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ and UEFA EURO 2012, Del Bosque cast his vote for the FIFA Awards on many occasions and was even named FIFA World Coach of the Year for Men’s Football in 2012.
Having this year passed on the Roja baton to Julen Lopetegui and announced his retirement from coaching, Del Bosque had not been planning to offer his views for The Best FIFA Football Awards™.

FIFA.com: What things have you looked at when voting ove..
