In a significant development for Atletico Madrid, manager Diego Simeone has committed to a new long-term contract, securing his position at the helm until 2027.
The 53-year-old Argentine, who took charge of the club in December 2011, has become Atletico’s most successful coach in history. Under Simeone’s leadership, Atletico boasts an impressive record, including two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, two Europa League trophies, two European Super Cups, and a Spanish Super Cup.
Simeone has further elevated Atletico’s status by guiding them to two UEFA Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016, solidifying their place among Europe’s football elite. With over 600 matches in charge, Simeone has played a pivotal role in Atletico’s recent string of successes.
This contract extension ensures that Atletico retains the services of their iconic manager as they aim for more triumphs. Simeone’s responsibility will be to continue delivering silverware to the Wanda Metropolitano as he enters his second decade in charge.
As of now, Atletico holds the 4th position in La Liga following a strong start, while a flawless record of four wins from four matches places them atop their Champions League group. With Simeone steering the ship until 2027, Atletico appears poised for continued success on both domestic and European fronts.
