Urgent! Inter make initial contact with Atlético Madrid legend
Inter appointed Cristian Chivu as head coach last season, but it appears the club may now be targeting a legendary figure.
Details: According to Santi Aouna, Inter would like to appoint Diego Simeone as their next head coach. More than that, they have already made initial contact with the Argentine manager. At the same time, the club have not turned their backs on Chivu and remain prepared to extend his contract.
Simeone spent several years at Inter as a player. Since 2011, he has been in charge of Atlético, leading the club to the UEFA Champions League finals in 2013/14 and 2015/16, while also winning La Liga in 2013/14 and 2020/21.
His current Atlético Madrid side have now eliminated Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and will face Arsenal in the semi-finals.
Reminder: In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Atlético Madrid defeated Barcelona over two legs to reach the next round. After the match, Barcelona winger Raphinha made sharp remarks that ultimately led to him issuing an apology.
