Internal rift with new sporting director casts doubt on legendary manager’s future after 15 years in charge.
A stunning report from The Sun suggests that Atletico Madrid is contemplating the once-unthinkable: parting ways with their iconic manager, Diego Simeone. The potential move stems from what is described as a “growing internal rift” over the club’s transfer strategy.
The friction centers on a strained relationship between Simeone and the club’s newly appointed sporting director, Mateu Alemany. According to the report, which cites Spanish outlet Diario Sport, clear differences in vision emerged during the recent winter transfer window—just four months after Alemany’s arrival.
These disagreements have now spilled into public view, creating a sour atmosphere behind the scenes and casting serious doubt over Simeone’s long-term future. In Madrid, a growing sense has taken hold that the club may be heading for a major reset, with sources indicating Simeone’s position on the bench next season is no longer guaranteed.
The issue is believed to be rooted in footballing philosophy and transfer policy, rather than personal clashes alone. This internal tension is compounded by recent on-pitch results, which have piled additional pressure on the most successful coach in the club’s modern history, leaving his legendary 15-year reign in genuine jeopardy.
