Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admits he expects to work in Italy in the future.

Simeone had two seasons in Serie A as a player with Inter Milan.

"It will surely happen," the Argentine admitted in an interview with Rai Radio1.

"I hope to always have the same energy and same desire to continue in the same manner.

"I've been [coaching] for 12 or 13 years; our club has a history to respect and we must continue that."
