Enrique leads the candidates in line to replace Simeone at Atletico Madrid

Luis Enrique is reportedly a contender to replace Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone following his departure as Spain's national team manager starting next season. The Spanish El Chiringuito program confirmed that the current season will be Diego Simeone's last in the coaching of Atletico Madrid, as he will leave at the end of the current season, after 12 years. The "Transfer Market" website confirmed that Enrique is the most likely candidate to lead Atletico Madrid, starting next season, especially since Simeone's contract is about to expire, which clears the way for the club's management to search for an alternative coach to lead the team to crown titles. For its part, the English newspaper "The Mirror" indicated that the Argentine coach would be open to working in the English Premier League, after the end of his period with Atletico Madrid. Enrique departed from coaching the Spanish national team after the Matadors were eliminated from the last FIFA World Cup in Qatar in the round of 16 against the Moroccan on penalties.
