Cholo Simeone faces his last months in charge of Atlético de Madrid. The Argentine coach will close a historic chapter at the end of the season, according to sources close to the club.

The decision is not based on immediate sporting results. The trigger is a deteriorated relationship with Apollo, the new owner of the red and white entity. The lack of harmony in the project's vision has weighed more than any performance in LaLiga or the team's results in Spain.

Cholo Simeone and the end of an unrepeatable era

The name of Diego Simeone is linked to the transformation of the club. Fifteen seasons later, the cycle comes to an end. Since his arrival, Atlético de Madrid changed its competitive status, mentality, and identity on the field.

Titles, European finals, and unprecedented consistency defined a solid project that brought the club back to the elite of continental football. That legacy is not in question. What is in question is the future coexistence with a new ownership that aims to redefine priorities.

The new ownership and the clash of models

Apollo has started a phase of control with marked business criteria. Sports management seeks efficiency and structural changes. In this scenario, Cholo Simeone does not feel comfortable. His method requires autonomy, stability, and long-term decisions.

Discrepancies have been accumulating in key meetings. The message is clear: there is no alignment in the direction of the project. Therefore, the coach has opted for an agreed departure, avoiding tensions and preserving a farewell befitting his stature.

Impact on LaLiga and Spanish football

The coach's departure shakes up the landscape of LaLiga. Few coaches have marked an era in Spain as much. The club will have to undergo a complex succession process. Finding a replacement to maintain the competitive level will be the great challenge.

Meanwhile, the team embraces the situation. The goal is to compete until the end and close the season with dignity. In the red and white environment, a fitting farewell is being prepared. Because, whatever happens next, Cholo Simeone is already a living legend of Atlético.
