With one game remaining in the season, the Argentinean, 53, who has been in control of Atletico Madrid since 2011, has assured at least a third-place finish in LaLiga.
Simeone spoke on his own future at the club as well as some of the immediate challenges facing Atletico, such as Joao Felix's return from Chelsea, in an interview with Cadena COPE.
In the lengthy conversation, however, there was also time for personal issues. Simeone made the unusual remark after the presenter referenced a study that claimed the typical Spaniard has sex 56 times per year.
How many? Simeone responded. 56... 56 a year... A month has how many? 4 per month? No, four per month.
You cannot join my squad if you only play four times each month.
In the COPE studio, this response elicited hysterical laughing.
Simeone said, "15 a month?," when the interviewers pressed him for a more accurate estimate. Although I won't admit it, we have a good average.
In June 2019, Simeone discreetly wed his model bride Carla Pereyra; the couple has two daughters.
Additionally, the Argentine has three professional footballing sons from his first marriage.
Simone criticised Carolina Baldini, his first wife, last year for 'violating family code' by discussing their divorce on Argentine TV 12 years after they split up.
Simeone has promised to complete the final season of his contract with Atletico. 'We have one more year left on our deal, and I'm focused on continuing to provide my best,' he said.
The priority at the moment is not my contract, he continued. If we need to discuss it, we will do so later, when Miguel [Atletico CEO Miguel ngel Gil] thinks it is the best time to do so. The other is the priority.
After spending time on loan at Chelsea, Felix is expected to return to the team since new Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino deemed his skills at Stamford Bridge unneeded.
Atletico Madrid's LaLiga campaign comes to an end on Sunday night when they go to Villareal.
