Published on December 4, 2019, Diego Simeone's tenure at Atletico Madrid could be coming to an end, sparking speculation about a potential move to the Premier League.
The 49-year-old Argentine coach has been in charge of the La Liga giants since 2011, leading the team to La Liga titles and Europa League victories.
However, Atletico's recent performance has been underwhelming, with the team selling key players Antoine Griezmann and Rodri in the summer and stalwart Diego Godin departing the club.
As a result, some members of the board are reportedly disappointed with Simeone and the current state of affairs, with MARCA suggesting a 'divorce is on the horizon'.
This development has put Premier League clubs on high alert, with Arsenal reportedly on the lookout for a new manager.
Everton boss Marco Silva is also under pressure, and while an unlikely destination, the Toffees did sound out Simeone in 2017, with the Argentine reportedly curious about the project at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile, Mirror Sport columnist Stan Collymore believes Simeone would be the perfect fit for Arsenal after Unai Emery's sacking, suggesting that the Argentine coach could be persuaded to join the Gunners with the right vision and compensation.
