Inter Milan targets Simeone to lead the new project
Inter Milan has begun serious steps in its search for a new technical director, placing Argentine Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, at the top of its list of concerns during the coming period.
According to what was reported by the “FootMercato” website, the Italian club’s management is studying the possibility of ending the career of the current coach, Cristian Kevo, if it succeeds in convincing Simeone to take over the job, as he is the first choice within the corridors of management.
The report indicated that preliminary moves have taken place. Indeed, some Inter Milan officials contacted Simeone in order to test his pulse on the idea of leaving Atletico Madrid, and to find out the extent of his readiness for a new experience in the Italian League.
Despite this interest, the deal remains complex, as Simeone’s contract with Atletico Madrid extends until the summer of 2027, which makes the decision of his future linked to several factors, most notably his personal position and the desire of the Spanish club.
The position of the Argentine coach is still unclear so far, especially in light of His long association with Atletico Madrid, which he has led since 2011, is one of the most prominent and stable coaching experiences in European football.
It is noteworthy that Simeone has previous memories with Inter Milan, as he previously represented the team as a player between 1997 and 1999, and during that period he succeeded in winning the European Union Cup title, which may give the negotiations an additional emotional dimension.
