MADRID (Reuters) -Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is keeping his cool despite his team's disastrous start in their bid to end a five-year LaLiga title drought, with the under-fire coach hoping to strengthen his squad before Monday's transfer deadline.
Atletico are in 14th place after managing one point from their opening two LaLiga matches - a 2-1 loss at Espanyol and a disappointing 1-1 home draw against promoted Elche.
