Arriving at Atlético de Madrid in December 2011, the Argentine coach allowed the Colchoneros to enter a new dimension. And the Simeone method seems to have no end, since the Colchoneros are third in La Liga, three points behind the leader Merengue, with one game less. For several weeks now, the Spanish media have been unanimous: Diego Simeone will sign a new contract, while the current one expires in 2024.
And the Argentinian is going to make a hell of an effort. According to Cadena SER, he would have to accept a pay cut of around 30%, he who currently receives 16.5 million euros net. Obviously, this won’t force Simeone to go to the soup kitchen and he’ll still be extremely well paid, but it’s a nice gesture with his club looking to save money.
