## Bio

Diego Simeone played midfield across Argentina, Italy, and Spain from 1987 onward, collecting domestic doubles at Atlético Madrid in 1996 and Lazio in 2000, plus a UEFA Cup with Inter in 1998. He earned over 100 caps for Argentina, winning the Copa América twice in the early '90s and a Confederations Cup, though three World Cups yielded no trophy. After managing clubs across Argentina and a brief stop at Catania, he returned to Atlético Madrid in December 2011 and never left. He's won La Liga twice, the Copa del Rey, two Europa Leagues, and reached two Champions League finals, breaking Real Madrid's 14-year derby winning streak in 2013 at the Bernabéu. Over a decade later, he's still there - second-longest-serving manager in Europe, the man who made Atlético believe they belonged.
