Atletico Madrid president Cerezo insists Simeone will stay

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo insists coach Diego Simeone will stay.

Simeone, who has been at the helm of the Rojiblanco outfit since 2011, is a reported target of Manchester City and Paris St Germain.

"Simeone has three years left in the contract he signed," Cerezo told Radio Marca on Wednesday. "He is a gentleman and a man of his word.

"We will have 'Cholo' (Simeone's nickname) for a long time."

Simeone recently insisted he was happy at Atletico and had no intention of leaving the Vicente Calderon stadium any time soon.
