Diego Simeone has extended his deal as Atletico Madrid head coach and will remain in charge until June 2024. Simeone's backroom staff, including Óscar Ortega, Pablo Vercellone, Nelson Vivas and Hernán Bonvinvini have also signed new three-year deals with the club. The Argentine led Atletico to their 11th La Liga title in May as they finished on 86 points, two more than second-placed Real Madrid. Simeone originally signed for Atletico in 2011 following spells at various clubs in his native Argentina as well as with then-Serie A side Catania. He spent three years at Atletico as a player and stood out as the La Liga club won a domestic double in 1996.
