In the early morning of Beijing time, a sad news came from football, serbian coach Andic died of illness at the age of 71. He is one of the most familiar foreign managers for Chinese fans, having coached Shandong Luneng of the Chinese Super League in 2013 and Then Hebei Huaxia Happiness in the Chinese First Division in 2013 and 2015.
However, the biggest shining point of his career is in La Liga, where the short resumes of Real Madrid and Barca are not bright, but they have created glory in Atletico in those years. In the 1995–96 season, he won la Liga and the Spanish Copa del Rey double with a seemingly less brilliant team.
At that time, the team had Argentine bandit Simeone, Prince Chico, and former South Midfielder Pantic, who was quite familiar to some fans. In terms of lineup, they are obviously inferior to Barca or Real Madrid, but the results have never relied on paper.
It is worth mentioning that even in the glorious Simeone era, Atletico madrid have only won the Copa del Rey and league titles, and there has never been a season to win such a double. Even with higher achievements in Europe, Simeone has not been able to reach the heights that the old coach Antic once had.
