(Reuters) - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said that he is mainly responsible for the team's situation as they have failed to find their best form and sit in fifth place in LaLiga.
Atletico have not been able to follow up the success of 2021 when they won the Spanish league, as they fight to stay in the European qualification places and were eliminated from the Champions League, finishing bottom of Group B.
"I'm the one who has to improve so that they can raise their level in LaLiga. It's more or less the same names that won LaLiga. The basis of starters are there, it's the coach who is failing more than other things."
