Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says Real Madrid should stick with Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti is battling to keep hold of his job and is being linked with Manchester City.

"He is a fantastic coach and a great people manager," said Simeone.

"It's obvious that if Madrid let him go they will lose an important figure because he is the man who confected the squad. If Ancelotti leaves, it'll be Madrid's loss."
