Simeone and Atlético open talks on a deal until 2029
Both sides have started contacts; Simeone's contract runs until 2027 and a key meeting is set for December to push the deal forward.
Atlético Madrid and Diego Simeone have taken the first step toward extending a relationship that has already lasted for years. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, talks between the club and the Argentine coach are underway, aiming for a new agreement. The Cholo's current deal runs until 2027, and the club's leadership considers the renewal its absolute priority.
A meeting is planned for December, when both sides will review how the negotiation is progressing. The atmosphere is positive, and the option gaining the most traction is a contract through 2029. Simeone has been in charge since December 2011, is the most successful coach in the club's history and has managed more matches than anyone on the Atlético bench.
If the December meeting confirms the positive signals, the renewal could be announced in the coming weeks. The relationship could go past seventeen years.
