Report – Long-Serving Atletico Madrid Manager Emerges as ‘Dream’ Target For Inter Milan To Replace Simone Inzaghi | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is reportedly the ‘dream’ target for Inter Milan to replace the exit-bound Simone Inzaghi.

Per Spanish news outlet AS via FCInterNews, El Cholo would be a perfect replacement for the 49-year-old.

Simone Inzaghi could leave Inter after four years to join Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al-Hilal.

Indeed, rumors have gained momentum after Nerazzurri’s calamitous performance in the Champions League final.

Therefore, Beppe Marotta is preparing for life after the ex-Lazio manager.

Several names are on his shortlist, with Diego Simeone emerging as the most high-profile option.

Diego Simeone spent two years at San Siro as a player and has been touted for a managerial return for years.

However, this hypothesis has recently faded, particularly due to the 55-year-old’s unparalleled loyalty to Atletico Madrid.

Simeone is among the longest-serving managers in Europe’s traditional top-five leagues.

Indeed, he has been with Los Colchoneros since 2011, while his current contract runs out in 2027.

As such, luring him away from the Metropolitano Stadium this summer would be nearly impossible.
