Diego Simeone confirmed that he will remain as Atlético de Madrid’s coach next season, putting to rest the doubts that had arisen after the Champions League semifinal elimination against Arsenal.

“If I’m honest, I’m thinking about next season. I’m going to continue, but I’m analyzing how to approach it,” the Argentine coach said after the 1-0 win over Girona in La Liga.

Cholo’s remarks came weeks after he had left open the possibility of leaving. After being knocked out of the Champions League, he had admitted that he did not know if he had “the strength to keep trying for one more year.”

Simeone is under contract with Atlético until mid-2027 and is coming off a season in which the club made a major investment to compete for every title.

Since his arrival in 2011, the Argentine coach has become the most important manager in the club’s history. He has won eight titles and is the coach with the most matches managed at Atlético de Madrid.
