After the promotion of AtlĂ©tico Madrid to La Liga in 2002, JesĂșs Gil opted to leave the presidency of the organization, "although his family continued to control it and decided to designate Enrique Cerezo as president," appreciating his collaboration with the club for many years.
In his first season, "the club made several transfers of certain reputable players," such as Javi Moreno, Demetrio Albertini and Fabricio Coloccini coming from Milan, but despite this, the club finished the season in 12th position.
In the 2003â04 season, the club sacked coach Luis AragonĂ©s and replaced him with Gregorio Manzano. Great part of the deals of the previous season left the club. And in this year, players like Diego Simeone, Ariel Ibagaza and MatĂas Emanuel Lequi arrived. The club finished in seventh position, making it a poor season.
In the 2004â05 season, the club replaced their coach again, hiring CĂ©sar Ferrando and he aimed to renovate Los Rojiblancos. At that time, the club purchased central defenders Pablo Ibåñez and Luis Perea. Ferrando's plans did not materialize and the club finished 11th, again outside of European football.
In the 2005â06 season, veteran Carlos Bianchi was appointed by, the club. AtlĂ©tico made great investments by bringing stars like Martin Petrov, Maxi RodrĂguez and Mateja KeĆŸman. Nevertheless, however, the team did not produce good results and Bianchi was dismissed midway through the season, replaced by Pepe Murcia.
In the 2009â10 season, the arrival of head coach Quique SĂĄnchez Flores saw a huge change of fortunes. Though they continued to lag somewhat in La Liga, finishing the year in ninth, they managed to get third place in the 2009â10 UEFA Champions League group stage, and subsequently entered the season's UEFA Europa League in the round of 32 and winning the Europa League title after beating English teams Liverpool in the semi-finals and eventually Fulham in the final. Diego ForlĂĄn scored twice, the second being an extra-time winner in the 116th minute, as AtlĂ©tico Madrid won 2â1.
In the 2010â11 season, AtlĂ©tico had a comparatively disappointing performance, finishing only seventh in La Liga and being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and the group stage of the 2010â11 UEFA Europa League. This ultimately led to the departure of manager SĂĄnchez Flores before the conclusion of the season, who was replaced with ex-Sevilla manager Gregorio Manzano, and who secured the final Europa League place for AtlĂ©tico. Manzano himself was replaced with Diego Simeone in December 2011 after a poor run of form in La Liga.
In the 2011â12 season, former player Diego Simeone led AtlĂ©tico to their second Europa League title in the three years since its creation after they beat Athletic Bilbao 3â0 in the final on 9 May 2012 in Bucharest, with Radamel Falcao scoring twice and Diego once. Again, by winning the Europa League, they qualified for the 2012 UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea, winner of the previous season's Champions League, which was played in Monaco on 31 August 2012. AtlĂ©tico won 4â1, including hat-trick scored by Falcao in the first half. On 16 May 2013, AtlĂ©tico beat Real Madrid 2â1 in the Copa del Rey final, in a tense match where both teams finished with ten men. This ended a 14-year and 25-match winless streak in the Madrid derby.
The 2012â13 season saw the club finish with three trophies in a little over a year. As the undefeated winners of their Champions League group against FC Zenit, FC Porto and Austria Wien, and later defeating AC Milan, FC Barcelona and Chelsea in the knock-out rounds, AtlĂ©tico played their first Champions League final since 1974, in Lisbon's EstĂĄdio da Luz against city rivals Real Madrid. The match went into extra time and ended in a 4â1 loss. However, AtlĂ©tico did have the consolation of winning La Liga for the first time since 1996, with GodĂn's headed equaliser against Barcelona on the last day of the season, a week before the Champions League final.
