Simeone: An indelible legacy at Atlético
Diego Pablo Simeone’s continuity at the head of Atlético de Madrid is consolidated as an exceptional case in elite football. Following the recent departure of Imanol from Real Sociedad, the figure of Cholo resonates even more strongly, already accumulating 13 years of uninterrupted dedication to the rojiblanco club, a feat that few coaches can match.
While other LaLiga benches see multiple coaches pass through, Atlético enjoys enviable stability, built on Simeone’s commitment and philosophy. Names like Pellegrini, Ancelotti or Michel, with solid careers in their respective teams, are at a considerable distance from the Argentine coach, whose influence in the Metropolitano is undeniable.
Cholo has not only provided stability, but has instilled an identity and a fighting spirit that have marked an era at Atlético. His career is an example of how the mutual commitment between a coach and his players can generate a successful and lasting sports project.
Simeone has expressed his gratitude to the players who have defended his ideas on the field. Over time, Simeone is approaching breaking historical longevity records on the benches. Miguel Muñoz’s mark at Real Madrid is getting closer, a new milestone that could be reached in the 2025-2026 season. Simeone’s legacy at Atlético continues to be written, reaffirming his position as an indisputable benchmark in the club’s history.
