Atletico deny Aguirre reports

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has dismissed reports suggesting coach Javier Aguirre could be sacked if he loses Sunday's La Liga clash with Villarreal.
The Mexican's future has been brought into question following three consecutive league defeats, but Cerezo has given his backing to an increasingly under pressure Aguirre.
"No matter what happens against Villarreal, Javier Aguirre will continue to be the coach of Atletico Madrid," he said.
"We want to remain amongst the top three in the league and losing against Villarreal would be a big blow because we would fall even further behind the group ahead.
"However, we are only on match eight and there are still many games to play."
