MILAN: Atletico de Madrid coach Diego Simeone has reached agreement with the Champions League finalists to stay for at least one more season.

Club president Enrique Cerezo ended speculation over the Argentinian’s future by telling Spanish radio: “Simeone will stay next season. That is when his present contract expires. We will see what happens but of course we want him to continue to lead us.”

Simeone, a former World Cup midfielder, has led Atletico to success in the Spanish league and cup and the Europa League since taking over in 2011.
