Diego Simeone has promised he will never manage Real Madrid.

Simeone is a cult figure for Atletico Madrid from both his playing days and during his run as manager.

"I will never coach Real Madrid," Simeone told Onda Cero. "It is logical because of feelings. They wouldn't call me either.

"I am young, maybe someday I will lead another Spanish team."

Simeone revealed that his dream is to manage the Argentina national team before retiring.

"At some point, I would like to coach Argentina, but I have to improve as a coach," he added.

"I would like to do it in the final stretch of my career."
