Doubts Surround Simeone's Future with Atletico Madrid
Thursday 29-01-2026
Atletico Madrid is approaching the possibility of opening a new chapter in its history, as the continuity of Diego Simeone on the bench is no longer guaranteed, and the end of the current season may represent a pivotal point in the club's history, according to the 'Fichajes' website.

The same source explained that Simeone, who has been leading the team since December 2011, has begun to show signs of fatigue after nearly fifteen years at the helm of the sporting project, with mixed results, internal tensions, and a general impression that his leadership cycle has peaked.

The source noted that Simeone's impact went beyond titles to include the modern identity of Atletico Madrid, transforming the team from an intermittent competitor to a permanent force against Real Madrid and Barcelona, achieving an exceptional record that includes two Champions League finals, two La Liga titles, two Europa League titles, the Copa del Rey, two UEFA Super Cups, and the Spanish Super Cup, along with building a competitive mentality and strong ties with the fans.

The report confirmed that the defeat against Bodo/Glimt in the last round of the Champions League group stage, where the team exited the top 8 despite relying on itself, sparked doubts about Simeone's ability to manage the team in critical times, especially with the deteriorating relationship between the coach and the sports management.

The website pointed out that Simeone himself previously indicated that his departure would come when he feels unable to lead the project, and this possibility seems closer than ever, and the club does not rule out an organized farewell at the end of the season to end a historic phase in a manner befitting the Argentine coach's legacy.

If this season is the last, Simeone will leave as an absolute icon, leaving an exceptional legacy in Atletico Madrid's history, with the challenge of whether a final reinvention or a new era for the team can begin.
