Argentine coach Diego Simeone has signed a new contract committing him to Atletico Madrid until June 2020.
Simeone, who led Atletico to 3rd place in La Liga last season and to the semifinals of the Champions League, has agreed to a 2-year deal to end all the speculation of him leaving next summer as his previous contract was set to expire in June 2018.
A club statement read: “Diego Pablo Simeone’s contract extension is a reality. Our coach signed his new contract that links ties him to Atletico Madrid for two further seasons, until June 30, 2020.
“Hence, we confirm the news that the rojiblanco fans were greatly hoping for. There is total synergy between the club and the coach.”
