Diego Simeone marked five years in charge of Atletico Madrid on Friday.
Although the capital club are currently languishing sixth in LaLiga, with their coach's long-term future subject to mounting speculation, Simeone's time in charge of Atleti is likely to be celebrated long after he departs.
From that unforgettable LaLiga title triumph in 2013-14 to those agonising near misses in the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals against bitter rivals Real Madrid, we take a look at the Opta statistics behind one of the finest coaching reigns of the modern era in European football.
DIEGO SIMEONE'S ATLETICO MADRID IN NUMBERS
- Simeone (190) has been in charge of the second-most matches in Atletico Madrid history. The only coach with more Atleti games under his belt is Spain's Euro 2008-winning coach Luis Aragones (407).
- Atletico's run of 14 consecutive wins at their Vicente Calderon home between May 5 2012 and March 10 2013 stands as a club record.
- The winners' medals he holds are from the 2011-12 Europa League, the 2012 UEFA Super Cup, the 2012-13 Copa del Rey, LaLiga 2013-14 and the 2014 Supercopa de Espana.
- Simeone has presided over a famously miserly defence at Atletico. In their title-winning 2013-14 campaign they were breached 26 times in 38 LaLiga matches, keeping 20 cleansheets, while last term the number of shutouts climbed to 24 with only 18 goals conceded.
