Coach Abel Resino is staying at Atletico Madrid all season, despite a disastrous start to the Spanish league campaign, club chairman Enrique Cerezo said Friday.
Fans have voiced anger and media reported that Resino is under threat with Atletico one off the bottom of the table boasting just two points from four games.
But Cerezo told the players: “Abel can rest easy, he will be the coach all season. Why should we give him an ultimatum?” the club’s website quoted him as saying.
Atletico, who finished fourth last season, face Valencia on Saturday ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match away against FC Porto.
They could only draw 0-0 at home to Apoel of Cyprus in their opening Champions League game on Sept 15.
“It’s the same team as last year, the players just need to be themselves again,” added Cerezo.
