Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone rubbishes AFA claims

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone denies he's in talks with the Argentine FA.

Simeone is on the shortlist of the AFA's replacements after the sacking of Edgardo Bauza.

"No, I have not spoken to anyone from the AFA," Simeone declared.

In addition, El Cholo described as a "disgrace" what happened to the Belgrano fan who was who was thrown from a stand of the 'Mario Alberto Kempes' stadium.

"What happened is a misfortune and an unmanageable situation. I think it's a social issue rather than the fan base," Simeone said.

"The people who have to take charge and make decisions for the responsibility they have, must do so to have a better Argentina."
