Simeone and Atlético Madrid: 13 years of success
Atlético Madrid will face Marbella in La Rosaleda, the Málaga stadium, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. This match marks the beginning of the team’s success story under the leadership of Diego Simeone, who has been in charge for 13 consecutive years.
During this time, the team has won eight trophies and has been league leader on several occasions. Simeone has directed 707 matches with a 67% effectiveness and has made Koke, a canterano who is now the captain and the player with the most matches in the team’s history, his emblem. The match will also serve to pay tribute to Radomir Antic, the coach of the Double who passed away in 2020.
