Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone will remain at the helm for the upcoming season, according to Spanish newspaper “AS”. Recent weeks have seen increased speculation about a potential departure for the Argentine, but such a possibility has now been ruled out. Simeone reportedly met with the club's new owners, an American investment fund that recently took over management. It was during this meeting that both parties agreed the coach would continue leading the team. His current contract runs until the end of next season and will be honored. The new owners are not rushing to make decisions about the distant future, preferring to focus on the present.
Diego Simeone has been strongly linked with the coaching position at Inter Milan, but this prospect will not materialize for at least another year. Atletico Madrid is expected to have a busy summer at the Cívitas Metropolitano, with a significant investment planned for new signings. This move aims to pose a serious challenge to traditional giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid is set to face Hansi Flick's Barcelona three more times in the coming weeks, with consecutive clashes in La Liga and the Champions League quarter-finals. Simeone's side has already eliminated Barcelona from the Copa del Rey.
