After more than 14 years at Atletico Madrid, what next for Simeone?

​Image source, Getty Images. ByElizabeth Conway. Spanish football reporter. 13 minutes ago. 7 Comments. Since his arrival as manager in 2011, Diego Simeone has transformed Atletico Madrid from an under-performing side, struggling for consistency both domestically and in Europe, into a formidable outfit winning silverware and consistently challenging in the Champions League.. The Argentine delivered Atletico’s first La Liga in 18 years in 2014 – he was a combative midfielder in that 1996 title-winning team – and broke the Real Madrid-Barcelona dominance to win it again in 2021.. Yet after more than 14 years in charge, questions over Simeone’s future are simmering, heightened by the arrival of new majority stakeholders at Atletico who may push for change.. The 55-year-old remains under contract until June 2027, but uncertainty surrounds what comes next.. Atletico sit fourth in La Liga and are 16 points behind leaders Barcelona, who they face three times in the next two weeks in La Liga and in the Champions League quarter-finals.. Against that backdrop, opinion among supporters is divided over whether the club’s future should still be built around ‘El Cholo’.. Atletico’s transformation under Simeone. One thing that is indisputable is Simeone’s managerial record at Atletico.. He has taken charge of Atletico Madrid on 786 occasions, recording 465 wins, 170 draws and 151 defeats across more than 14 and a half seasons at the helm. It makes him one of the longest-serving managers in world football.. Atletico offered Simeone his first big managerial job in European football when he was appointed in December 2011, his previous role on the continent having been to save Italian side Catania from Serie A relegation, following success in Argentina with River Plate and Estudiantes.. In that time, the club has been transformed. When Simeone first arrived, Atletico had just been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by third-tier Albacete and were 10th in La Liga, 21 points adrift of the leaders.. Yet under the Argentine coach, Atletico went on to win the Europa League in Simeone’s first season, before adding the Uefa Super Cup and the Copa del Rey in 2012–13.. From 2013-14 onwards, after winning their first title under Simeone, Atletico have qualified for the Champions League every season, twice falling to agonising final defeats at the hands of rivals Real in the space of three years between 2014 and 2016.. Competing on Europe’s biggest stage was no longer an achievement, it was considered the standard.. As Atletico supporter Guillermo Myela describes, Simeone changed the mentality of fans.. “We went from being ‘El Pupas – the jinxed ones’, to a club that can compete against Barcelona and Real Madrid without fear,” Myela says.. “The connection that he has with the club and the fans is something that you rarely see in modern football. He lives for Atletico Madrid.”. He is the most decorated manager of all time at the club and supporter Javier del Amo describes him a

Art heist targeting million-dollar masterpieces exposes blind spots in museum defenses, expert warns

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! A daring museum robbery abroad is attracting worldwide notice and sparking fresh concerns about the potential for similar thefts in the United States. Artworks by renowned artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse were stolen from Italy’s Magnani Rocca Foundation during the night of March 22-23. The theft grabbed global headlines, but an expert reveals the true story extends far beyond the crime. Geoff Kelly, a former FBI agent from the bureau’s Art Crime Team, told Fox News Digital that such crimes are far more frequent than most realize and nowhere near as complex as they seem. “Stealing the artwork is easy,” Kelly said. It’s not hard to kick in a door, smash a window, and make off with it. Das Video zeigt einen erschreckenden Moment, als maskierte Einbrecher aus Kalifornien gehobene Geschäfte überfallen, bevor sie in luxuriösen Geländewagen fliehen. This reality is heightening concerns over vulnerabilities within museums, including those in the U.S. Kelly noted that museums confront an inherent security challenge. Unlike banks or vaults, museums are designed to be open, accessible, and welcoming to the public—a feature that criminals can also exploit. “Museums are always going to be vulnerable,” he said. “They’re not vaults—they’re meant to be open and inviting.”

Man who put up $100K to find Nancy Guthrie says tipsters should skip the sheriff and call Crime Stoppers

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! As various agencies gather tips in the Nancy Guthrie case, the individual offering a $100,000 reward asserts that Crime Stoppers—rather than the sheriff—provides the most secure option for witnesses to submit information and an attractive one for those seeking payment for reliable details without revealing their identity. “I believe people will step forward if they can remain anonymous and receive a reward,” stated Wisconsin lawyer Michael Hupy, president of Crime Stoppers Milwaukee. In Arizona’s Pima County, the local Crime Stoppers chapter operates as 88-CRIME, reachable at 520-0003-7463. Hupy has already disbursed $75,000 in rewards and pledged an additional $200,000 to help resolve crimes in his community. He told Fox News Digital this week that he spent six figures on the Guthrie case because of the alarming nature of her disappearance. NANCY GRACE SLAMS SHERIFF’S HANDLING OF GUTHRIE CASE: ‘THE FISH STINKS AT THE HEAD’. Authorities believe she was abducted from her bedroom in northern Tucson at around 2 a.m. on February 1st, Sunday. Police found a faint trail of blood drops leading from her front door to the edge of her driveway. De achterdeuren van haar auto stonden open. De Nest deurbel camera van haar huis was weg.

Artemis II astronauts face toilet trouble as they head toward the moon

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! The four astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission have traveled more than halfway to the moon since launching Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center, but a recurring issue has emerged. For the second time since launch, Orion’s toilet is malfunctioning. “During the night, we tried to vent the wastewater tank that’s attached to the toilet.” We encountered issues with it, likely from a suspected blockage we believe was probably caused by ice. Judd Frieling, the Artemis II flight director, explained during a Saturday news conference that they instructed the crew overnight to use their collapsible backup urine devices. The astronauts had faced a similar toilet issue on the mission’s first day. The spacecraft’s moon toilet broke down after launch and continues to be a persistent problem. TRUMP BOOSTS MOON MISSION HYPE AS ARTEMIS II GEARS UP FOR LAUNCH AMID PRESSURE FROM PRIOR SETBACKS. Debbie Korth, deputy manager of NASA’s Orion program, stated that the toilet remains functional. “You know, this is a test flight.” “We’re working out how these systems integrate, but it’s functional and we have backups to complete the mission,” she said. NASA confirmed the toilet remains usable for astronauts’ solid waste. ARTEMIS II LAUNCH CAPTIVATES COLLEGE SOFTBALL GAME AS PLAYERS GAZE SKYWARD IN AWE. “Space toilets and bathrooms are something everyone can easily relate to .. it’s always a challenge,” Korth said. John Honeycutt, chair of the mission management team, said the public’s interest in the Orion toilet was “kind of human nature.”

‘A messed-up situation’ – world champion Dubois on family rift

​L’image provient de Reuters. ByKal Sajad. Journalist for BBC Sport boxing. 58 minutes ago. Family has always been at the heart of Caroline Dubois’ boxing journey. But two years ago, the current WBC lightweight champion—sister to former heavyweight world champion Daniel—left the family home where she grew up. The trigger was a dispute with her father, Stan Dubois (also known as Dave), whose intense, high-pressure training regimen shaped both siblings’ upbringings. Caroline departed but kept training with Shane McGuigan, while Daniel pursued his own path. Several of her younger siblings joined her, forging a new family structure along the way. “It’s such a messed-up situation.” “It’s just so complicated,” says Caroline, 25, about the strained relationship. Speaking to BBC Sport from the McGuigan gym in Leyton, east London, with her younger sister Alicia beside her, Caroline expresses hope for reconciliation with Daniel and believes “time” will heal things. But it’s a different matter with her father. “When you distance yourself from someone overbearing, who doesn’t let you have an opinion or a voice, and then you gain that freedom, you discover your likes and dislikes,” she explains. “You figure out who you want to be around, what kinds of people you enjoy, and what kinds you don’t.” Terri Harper tegen Caroline Dubois.
