Latest News about Diego Simeone
Simeone said the club had made a firm decision to keep Argentina striker Julián Álvarez despite interest from Barcelona and the player's wish to leave. Atlético CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín had already stated the club planned to retain him.
Simeone confirmed he would continue as Atlético's head coach for the 2026/27 campaign, ending speculation about his future. The decision followed an agreement not to activate an early exit clause amid the club's ownership transition under Apollo Sports Capital.
Diario AS reported that Simeone and Atlético Madrid would continue together for the 2026/27 season, which would be his 16th season as head coach. The report said the club would not part ways with him at the end of the current campaign, though talks about the next squad were already underway.
