La Liga: Diego Simeone Named Coach Of The Month For Atletico's Seven-game Winning Streak
Best La Liga Coach: Diego Simeone has been named the Best La Liga Coach in December, an award for Atletico de Madrid’s sensational month of December which has seen the club rise to the top of the standings in the league. Since the 1-0 loss against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin, on October 27, Atletico Madrid have won all their matches (7 out of 7) against Las Palmas (2-0), Mallorca (0-1), Deportivo Alaves (2-1), Real Valladolid (0-5), Sevilla (4-3), Getafe (1-0) and FC Barcelona (1-2).
Diego Pablo Simeone thus won his first award of the season and will end 2024 in the best possible way, beating Diego Martínez (UD Las Palmas) and Ernesto Valverde (Athletic Club) in the final vote for Best Coach of the Month for December in La Liga.
The last victory against FC Barcelona, before the league went on hold for the two-week long winter break, took Atletico Madrid to the top of the La Liga standings, with another comeback in the final minutes thanks to Alexander Sorloth's goal.
