Diego Simeone's agent says a new deal with Atletico Madrid is close to being signed.

The coach's sister, Natalia, also acts as his agent and has been in Spain for contract talks with Atleti.

Natalia told Spanish state TV: "Surrounding the renewal of Simeone at the club, there will be good news in the next few days. The fans went home happy tonight and they will be happy again soon.

"El Cholo (Simeone) always believed in the work of his players. Hard work always pays off as he would say. It was emotional as the fans at the Calderon always give you a shot of adrenalin."
