The Argentine Diego Simeone is already the coach with the most victories in the League, 195, in the history of Atlético de Madrid, above the legendary Luis Aragonés, whom he equaled last Tuesday with the victory against Levante (0-1) and whom he beat on Saturday June 27 with the 2-1 at Alavés in the Wanda Metropolitano stadium to add a new record to his impressive career at the rojiblanco club, of which he is also the coach with the most titles.

Luis added 194 wins in 407 games in the championship at the head of the team bench of his life; Simeone has already scored 195 in 320 crashes. 75 draws and 50 defeats complete the Argentine’s numbers in his eight and a half seasons as coach of the Madrid team in this competition, since his debut with a 0-0 on January 7, 2012 against Malaga at La Rosaleda.

Simeone, the only coach capable of winning the League against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the last decade, has achieved all those achievements in eight years and five months at Atlético, in which he has also collected other historical marks, which remain indelible. on the club’s record list, when they seemed unreachable over time.

Nobody has won as many games in a row at home as coach of the rojiblanco team either: the fourteen successive ones at Vicente Calderón, ended on March 8, 2013 with a 0-1 with Real Sociedad. The best previous brand, twelve, dated from the time of Ricardo Zamora and Atlético Aviación, between 1939-40 and 1940-41.
