MON 27.10.2014

The Atlético Madrid boss, Diego Simeone has been awarded the prize for 'Best Manager in the 2013-14 Liga BBVA' in the '2014 LFP Awards Ceremony', recognising him as the best head coach last season in the top flight of Spanish football, ahead of Paco Jémez (Rayo Vallecano) and Ernesto Valverde (Athletic Club).

The Argentine manager was one of the great architects of Atlético’s tenth Liga BBVA title victory, something the club had not achieved since 1996. The red and white shirt of the players guided by his instinct for football to the summit of Spanish football was steeped in his spirit and charisma. With intensity as his hallmark and hard work as the best of his instructions, Simeone has created a winning squad that is very difficult to beat.

It is impossible to underestimate the value of a team in which there are no big stars and the side fights together as one. Their captain, Gabi, is an extension of Simeone on the field of play, a '14' reminiscent of the Argentine manager during his spell as a Rojiblancos player. The commitment of each and every footballer to the manager’s way of thinking speaks volumes of Simeone’s work in charge of the dressing room.

Their solidity in defence, where conceding a goal became almost unimaginable, was reflected in the excellent stats of the kings of the 2013-14 Liga BBVA. Atlético ended 22 matchdays without conceding a goal, and in their 38 fixtures they achieved 28 victories, scored 77 goals and earned 90 points. The voraciousness shown by Simeone’s men was in line with the 'game by game' philosophy that brought so much success for the manager from Buenos Aires. It enabled them to go into their final match of the season against FC Barcelona needing only a draw to achieve glory 18 years after their last title.

"I'd like to share this award with my backroom team, who do a great job. I'd
also like to share it with the players. With Courtois, with Miranda, with
Gabi and with Koke. Thank you very much."
