Simeon agrees to continue contract with Atletico

The Argentinian coach will become the most paid man in the club.

Diego Simeone has decided to continue his contract with Atletico Madrid, as his current agreement with the club expires in 2020.

The Marca newspaper writes that talks that began last summer will soon be closed with the signing of the new contract, which will make coach the most paid member of the club.

Simeone will even benefit even more than Antoine Griezmann, who renewed his contract during the World “Russia 2018<18x1> with a salary of about 20m euros a year.

This is probably one of the rarest cases, if not the only one, that the coach is valued for paying even more than the team's top player.

A clause was added to Simeon's contract, under which the coach can leave if the club does not respect the agreement in its entirety.
