The Argentinian coach could leave the Madrid club after the end of the season.

Diego Simeone’s continued presence on the bench is no longer assured. The conclusion of the current campaign may mark a turning point in Atletico Madrid’s history, according to Fichajes. Atletico Madrid are getting close to starting a new chapter in its history.

According to the same source, Simeone, who has been in charge of the squad since December 2011, has started to exhibit indications of exhaustion after over fifteen years in charge of the athletic endeavour, including inconsistent outcomes, internal conflicts, and a general sense that his leadership cycle has peaked.

According to the source, Diego Simeone’s influence extended beyond championships to include Atletico Madrid’s current identity, turning the team from a sporadic rival to a consistent force against Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

The team has an outstanding record consisting of two UEFA Champions League finals, two LaLiga titles, two UEFA Europa League titles, the Copa del Rey, two UEFA Super Cups, and the Spanish Super Cup, in addition to developing a competitive mindset and close relationships with the supporters.

Is this the last season for Simeone at Atletico?

According to the report, Diego Simeone’s ability to lead the team during crucial moments was questioned after the team’s loss to Bodo/Glimt in the final round of the Champions League league phase. They finished outside of the top eight despite relying on themselves. This was especially true given the deteriorating relationship between the coach and the sports management.

If this season is the last, Diego Simeone will leave as an unquestionable icon, leaving an amazing reputation in Atletico Madrid’s history, with the dilemma of whether a last rebirth or an entirely new phase for the team can begin.

When does Diego Simeone’s deal expire?

His Atletico contract will end in 2027.

When did Simeone join as Atletico’s coach?

He became their manager in 2011.

How many LaLiga titles has he won?

He has won two league titles with Atletico.
