Diego Simeone has committed his future to Atletico Madrid in the wake
of more rumours about a possible departure from the Vicente Calderon.
Under
the guidance of Simeone, Atletico have challenged the duopoly of Real
Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, winning the title in 2013-14, as well
as reaching two Champions League finals, where they lost each time to
their arch-rivals from the Bernabeu.
Having secured top-three finishes in each of the past four seasons,
Atletico are languishing in sixth this time around, already nine points
off the pace of Zinedine Zidane's table-toppers.
Simeone is
contracted with Atletico until the end of next season, but he has been
strongly linked with a return to former club Inter - rumours his son,
Genoa striker Giovanni, has fuelled by saying his father could join him
in Serie A.
Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin said this week he
was confident Simeone would honour his deal, and speaking after Friday's
friendly win over Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, the coach backed up that
claim.
'Simeone deserves a statue'
"I will not leave Atletico," he was quoted as saying
