Diego Simeone again plays down Atletico Madrid's title hopes

By , Football Editor
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone admits that he 'cannot guarantee success' at the club this season.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has played down his side's chances of retaining the La Liga title this season.

The capital outfit won their first league title since 1996 last term, in addition to reaching the final of the Champions League.

However, Simeone has hinted that his team are in a battle with Valencia and Sevilla for third place this campaign.

"I always tell the truth and I can't guarantee we'll repeat what we did last year," Simeone said after collecting the Miguel Munoz award for best coach of the 2013-14 campaign.

"Our championship is with Sevilla and Valencia, so if anything happens after that then it happens."

Simeone had a similar view when questioned on his side's 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad on Sunday.
