Simeone one step away from equalling another Luis Aragonés historic record

Simeone can equal Luis Aragonés' La Liga record of 344 victories this weekend if Atlético beat Levante; the Argentine has already surpassed him in most other statistical measures.

Atlético Madrid visit Levante on Saturday 31 October in a crucial La Liga fixture. For manager Diego Simeone, the match offers a chance to equal another historic milestone set by Luis Aragonés.

Simeone currently has 343 La Liga victories from 564 matches managed. One more win would tie him with Aragonés' record of 344 victories in the competition. The Argentine has already surpassed Aragonés in most other statistical categories: he has won eight titles to Aragonés' six, boasts a 58.9% win rate versus Aragonés' 50.3%, and has conceded just 0.87 goals per game compared to 1.14 under the former manager.

In his 16 consecutive seasons at Atlético, Simeone has established himself as the club's greatest manager by numerous measures. He holds the records for most matches managed (813 across all competitions), most victories (479 versus Aragonés' 308), and best defensive record. His average of 1.98 points per match ranks second only to Helenio Herrera in Atlético's history.
