Simeone has been manager at Atletico since 2011, making him the person who has coached a team for the most consecutive seasons in La Liga. With 316 victories across all competitions, he is the club’s winningest coach.
Simeone has won eight trophies as manager of Los Colchoneros — La Liga twice, the Copa del Rey, two UEFA Europa Leagues, and two UEFA Super Cups.
He has also guided Atletico to two Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016, losing both times to crosstown rivals Real Madrid.
As a player for Atletico, the ex-Argentina international won the domestic double in 1995-96.
