The end of a great era? Simeone is set to leave Atlético Madrid in the summer, a move that will affect the future of Félix

Atlético Madrid and Diego Simeone. A connection that has been going on since December 2011. But by the summer it could be history. At least that’s what the Spanish media claim. His departure will also affect the future of Portuguese footballer Joao Félix.

Today, Atlético Madrid is one of the best Spanish clubs and is experiencing one of the best eras in its history. It is without doubt the best in modern history.

Coach Diego Simeone has won eight trophies with the club. He has won the league twice, the Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup and once the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Super Cup. He managed to reach the Champions League final twice.

Los Colchoneros have a clearly defined style of play, albeit not a very attractive one. Simeone’s handwriting is more than clear. However, there has been talk for several seasons now about whether it is time for a change. And it will probably happen soon.

According to El Chiringuito, the Argentine strategist will leave Atlético in the summer, even though he has a contract with the club until the summer of 2024. So far, he has coached 604 competitive matches for the Madrid club.

Simeon’s departure could then affect the future of Portuguese footballer Joao Félix, who is expected to head to Chelsea on a six-month loan.

Félix was originally expected to leave as his relationship with the coach is not expected to be the best, however, if Simeone leaves the club in the summer, the Portuguese will be motivated to continue defending the Madrid club’s colours.

It is worth mentioning that ten years before Simeone’s arrival, Atlético were in the second league. The Argentine coach is already seen as a club legend. What he has done with the club will never be forgotten by the fans.
