Man City make first approach to Atletico Madrid boss Simeone

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is open to a summer move to Manchester City. If results do not improve, the Argentine is City's top target to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the end of season.

The Mirror says City have sounded out Simeone about working in the Premier League.

The feedback from their enquiries - understood to be via intermediaries - was positive, with Simeone keen to manage in the Premier League.

City are ready to move for the 44 year-old despite concerns among some at the club about his explosive management style.
