Overview
- Diego Simeone, following Tuesday's 2–1 aggregate semifinal loss to Arsenal, said he does not feel ready now to commit to next season.
- He remains under contract through June 30, 2027, so any departure would hinge on a decision by him or the club.
- Faro de Vigo reports roughly €230 million invested in the 2025–26 squad, a sum it argues looks squandered after no trophies.
- Simeone praised his players’ effort and congratulated Arsenal, saying Atlético gave all they had in a strong Champions League run.
- Across a 14-year tenure, he has led more than 700 matches and won eight titles, which makes any hint of change carry extra weight for the club and its fans.
