The Argentine coach is expected to put pen to paper on a renewal with the Spanish champions in the coming days
Diego Simeone is on the verge of signing a new contract with Atletico Madrid, his sister and agent has revealed.
Atletico beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 on Tuesday at the Vicente Calderon and held their nerve to advance after a tense penalty shootout to confirm their place in the last eight for a second season in succession.
And after the game, Natalia Simeone told Teledeporte: "I'm really emotional. There is so much adrenaline with Atleti and you live every match with so much emotion."
But the coach's sibling also admitted there would be more for Atleti fans to celebrate later on in the week.
"There is really good news coming in the next few days," she said. "The fans will be very happy. We are going to continue to work together."
And on the achievement of her brother, she added: "He always believes in his work, he believes in his players and he was confident.
"Hard work always pays off - that's what Diego says. He has so much passion for what he does. The day he gives up, he will need to take up something new!"
