Diego Simeone Extend Atletico Madrid Contract

Diego Simeone has signed a new contract that will keep him at Atletico Madrid until 2022, the LaLiga club have announced.

Simeone's old deal was set to expire in 2020 but he has agreed new terms that reportedly makes him Atletico's top earner, with a salary higher even than that of star forward Antoine Griezmann.

The news comes after he extended his deal by two years in September 2017, having earlier agreed to reduce the length of his contract not long after Atletico's defeat in the 2016 Champions League final.

The Argentine is the most successful head coach in Atletico history, having led the club to seven titles during his seven-year stay.
