Simeone signs three-year deal

– Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has renewed his contract until 2022, the club said this week, meaning the Argentine is set to complete a decade in charge of the La Liga side.

“I would like to thank all the directors and all the fans of Atletico Madrid for their support in the continuity of this project,” Simeone said.

Simeone, 48, who spent two spells at Atletico as a player, took over as coach in December 2011 with the club just above the relegation zone and transformed them into one of the top sides in Europe. –
