Relations between Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and sporting director Mateu Alemany have deteriorated since the winter transfer window.
Idman.Biz, citing Sport.es, reports that the disagreements that have arisen may affect the Argentine's future at the club, despite having a contract until 2027.
According to the source, Atletico Madrid have begun looking for a replacement for Simeone, who may leave the club at the end of the season. It is emphasized that the team's results, and not any disagreements with Alemany, may be the main factor in this decision. The Argentinean must improve Atletico's performance in order to restore the confidence that has been shaken in recent months.
Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola is the main candidate to replace Simeone. However, the Spanish specialist himself prefers to continue coaching in the English Premier League.
The Argentine specialist has been in charge of the Madrid club since December 2011. Under his leadership, Atletico Madrid have won two Spanish championships and the Europa League.
After 22 rounds of La Liga, Simeone's team is in third place with 45 points. Atletico Madrid finished 14th overall in the Champions League and will play in the play-offs.
