Diego Simeone plays down Chelsea talk

Diego Simeone says that 'his place is at Atletico Madrid' when the head coach is questioned on reported interest from Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has played down speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea.

It is understood that the Argentine is a managerial target for the current English champions, who will replace interim boss Guus Hiddink at the end of the season.

However, when questioned on the speculation on Friday, Simeone insisted that he is not looking to leave Madrid.

"My place is at Atletico Madrid," Simeone told Record.

The 45-year-old, who has also been linked with Inter Milan, represented Atletico as a player on two separate occasions and has been in charge at the Vicente Calderon since 2011.
