Spanish press reports indicated that Atletico Madrid’s management has begun searching for a new coach to lead the team, after they began to doubt the abilities of coach Diego Simeone.
The Spanish club’s decision came against the backdrop of the significant decline in the results of the Rojiblancos recently, which was completed with a 1-0 loss to Real Betis on Sunday in La Liga.
According to what was reported by the media, despite the great appreciation that Simeone enjoys within Atletico, anger against him has increased recently, including from his most ardent supporters, due to the way the team has performed with him this season.
For this reason, Atletico’s management has begun searching the coaching market in the hope of finding the ideal successor for him, but so far they have not made the decision to dismiss him, and will give Simeone one last chance to save his position.
The Argentine coach needs to prove that he can change things radically at the Wanda Metropolitano, otherwise dismissal will be his inevitable fate in a few weeks from now.
It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid was defeated this season in the Champions League 4-0 by Benfica and 3-1 by Lille, and it also occupies fourth place in the La Liga standings, 10 points behind the leader Barcelona.
