That was the first of the eight titles the Madrid-based club has won so far in Simeone's 10 years charge as manager.

This time it was the Europa League, beating Olympique Marseille 3-0 in the final in Lyon. A few months later, Atletico won the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid (4-2).This year, Simeone guided Atletico to the 11th LaLiga title in the club's history. In the process, he also became the winningest coach in Atletico de Madrid's history (316). He has so far overseen 527 games - losing only 16 per cent of them."The Argentine is about to kick off his 11th season as our manager - making him the person who has coached a team for the most consecutive seasons in LaLiga. Apart from the eight trophies we have won in this period, we have also qualified for nine consecutive seasons for the Champions League, something unprecedented at our club.
