Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid is probably one of the most successful and stable matches that exist in European football today, and according to “Marca”, the Spanish league leader is definitely interested in keeping one of the best coaches in the world.
Cello Simeone signed his current contract about two years ago, and it will only end in the summer of 2022, according to the report Atletico intend to submit a bid for him in the coming weeks. The coach who will represent the coach in the negotiations, as in previous times, is his sister Natalia Simeone. Even in the shadow of the corona crisis.
This week Simeone will complete nine years as Atletico Madrid coach, having on 23 December 2011 been appointed to the position in place of Gregorio Mansano. Since Cello’s numbers speak for themselves with a 2013/14 championship, two Champions League final touches, regular participation in the factory knockout stages and two Europa League wins.
However, what is considered perhaps his greatest achievement is making Atletico one of the strongest teams in Spain and Europe, when until the arrival of the coach, “La Liga” was ruled for many years only by Barcelona and Real Madrid. Since then, the Colchoneros have been considered championship contenders almost every season, and the chances of Simeone lifting the title for the second time in his career this year seem particularly high.
Over the years, Simeone has linked with quite a few other positions, including Chelsea, Inter and even the Argentina national team, but the coach himself often takes care to express his satisfaction with life in the Spanish capital, and it seems he is not expected to leave the nearby Vanada Metropolitano Stadium.
