Simeone: 500 Matches of Passion and Success at Atlético de Madrid
Diego Pablo Simeone arrived at Atlético de Madrid in December 2011 to replace Gregorio Manzano, making his debut in January 2012. Since then, he has implemented a match-by-match philosophy, reviving the iconic phrase of Luis Aragonés: “win, win, win, and win again”.
His career is marked by successes, including the 2012 Europa League, the 2012 UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea, the 2013 Copa del Rey, the 2014 LaLiga title, the 2014 Spanish Super Cup, the 2018 Europa League, the 2018 UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid, and the 2021 LaLiga title.
With 8 titles, he surpasses all previous coaches in the club’s 122-year history. Simeone becomes the ninth coach to reach 500 LaLiga matches, with a record of 305 wins, 112 draws, and 82 losses. In the current campaign, his team has won 13 LaLiga matches, with 6 draws and only two defeats.
