There is no doubt that Antoine Griezmann is one of the best footballers today. The Atlético de Madrid star is having a spectacular season, with already 14 goals and two assists in 21 matches played, which suggests his continuity within the Madrid team in the short term.

Antoine Griezmann: “If Filipe Luis calls me, I can be his assistant”
However, for the future, the Frenchman is considering warmer horizons, having already confirmed several times his wish to retire in MLS. In an interview with TNT Sports Brasil, he assured that Atlético would be his last club in Europe before considering an exotic move to another league.
Asked about the possibility of playing in Brazil, the Frenchman was clear and direct. “Brazil doesn’t cross your mind?” asked the correspondent of the cited media, Tati Mantovani, to which ‘Grizou’ replied: “No, I really like Brazil and its people, but I don’t see myself there .”

In addition to rejecting the idea, the Frenchman was asked about Filipe Luís, his former teammate at Atlético de Madrid, who said he dreamed of coaching one day: “Can you imagine being trained by Filipe Luís?”
“Well, it could be, or me as an assistant. If he (Filipe) calls me, I can be his assistant“, replied the French striker with a laugh.
Ser treinado por Filipe Luís?! Não, não! Prefiro ser auxiliar do homem! 🤪😅 Já imaginou Griezmann e o ex-lateral brasileiro no comando de um clube? 👀 Nossa @tatimantovani lançou a braba! #CasaDaChampions pic.twitter.com/YX0PgKZIii
