Atletico have drawn their first two games of the La Liga campaign, held by promoted Alaves and Leganes, and are already four points adrift of favourites Barcelona and Real Madrid. Simeone is the longest-serving coach in La Liga, having taken over Atletico in December 2011. He lead them to their first La Liga title in 18 years in 2014 and has also won the King's Cup and the Europa League. Simeone has taken Atletico to two Champions League finals, losing out to Real Madrid on both occasions in 2014 and 2016. As well as bringing silverware to the club, Simeone has forged a strong bond with his players.
