Simeone has been in charge of the team for more than a decade, achieving national and international titles that have elevated Atletico Madrid's status in European football. Under his leadership, the club has competed on equal terms with Spain's giants and has left its mark on the Champions League.

Despite his success, the debate over his permanence resurfaces from time to time. The demands of elite football are high, and fans always expect their team to rise to the occasion. Every season, the team's performance puts his continuity into question.

Recently, Atletico Madrid played a crucial match that could have marked a turning point in Simeone's cycle. Speculation about his future grew in the lead-up, with rumours that a defeat could hasten his departure. However, the club's management does not share this view.

Enrique Cerezo, president of Atletico Madrid, decided to put an end to the speculation and clarify the club's stance regarding its coach. In his statements, he made it clear that the outcome of a single match does not define the coach's future and that the relationship between Simeone and the institution goes far beyond that.

The president's words were strong and reflect the board's support for the Argentine coach. His continuity is not in doubt, and his bond with the club remains strong. Simeone has built an identity within the team that would be difficult to replace overnight.

"We want the coach, he has been with us for 13 years. We are delighted with him."

Cerezo dispelled any uncertainty with a blunt statement: "Today's match does not imply anything, neither against nor in favour of the coach. We want the coach, he has been with us for 13 years. We are delighted with him. Who has questioned that?" With these remarks, he made it clear that Simeone's future remains in the club's hands and that, for now, his position is not at risk.
