The late Luis Aragones won six major titles at the Liga club, but he has now been overtaken by the Argentine after the Rojiblancos beat Real Madrid
Diego Simeone has become Atletico Madrid's most successful coach after winning his seventh major title.
The Argentine was serving a touchline ban as Atleti beat city rivals Real Madrid 4-2 after extra time in a thrilling UEFA Super Cup in Tallinn on Wednesday.
Diego Costa struck a brace as Atletico followed up their Europa League triumph with their first title of 2018-19, Saul Niguez and Koke wrapping up victory in the added period.
The 2018 UEFA Super Cup adds to their success in the competition in 2012 under Simeone, as well as the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana titles they have won since he took charge seven years ago.
Atleti's top honour under Simeone remains the 2013-14 La Liga title, and they look set to challenge Madrid and Barcelona again this term.
Last season's Europa League triumph was the second under Simeone, who has now won more major honours than the six titles collected by Luis Aragones across his four spells at the club.
He also becomes the first Atletico manager to win a final against Real Madrid in three different competitions having triumphed against the club's neighbours in the Copa del Rey, Supercopa de Espana and UEFA Super Cup.
In contrast, Julen Lopetegui became the first Madrid coach to lose his first competitive game in charge since Bernd Schuster in 2007.
Lopetegui is also the first Real Madrid coach to concede four or more goals in his first competitive game in charge since Michael Keeping against Celta Vigo 60 years ago.

Mourinho have concede 5 goals when coaching Madrid then.. Media shouldn’t tell us Lopetugui is the first manager at Real Madrid to concede 4 or more goals
Can you not read. Not to be insulting or disrespectful but you must learn to read and comprehend before criticizing or even speaking. The article said Lopetegui is Real Madrid first manager to lose by 4 goals in his first (1st) competitive match. The key phrase in that is FIRST COMPETITIVE MATCH. Have a nice day.
