Atlético was a destroyed club when Diego Pablo Simeone landed at the club in December 2011. Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, the Rojiblanco boss, decided that the collapsing project deserved someone from the club to shake off the dust and restore the greatness that had made the club a regular in the fight for major titles in the 20th century.

The Atletico coach took over a team with a 100 million annual budget and, success after success, was key to its growth, raising it to 500 million before the pandemic. The Covid, it is true, has lowered it again, but the five-fold increase in revenue speaks clearly of the brutal transformation carried out since Simeone arrived at the Madrid club.
