Atlas Football Club has announced the appointment of Argentine coach Diego Cocca as the new head coach of the first team. Cocca returns for a second stint with Atlas, where he previously led the team to consecutive Liga MX championships in the Apertura 2021 and Clausura 2022 tournaments. The club made the decision following the departure of former coach Gonzalo Pineda. At the time of Cocca's return, Atlas was positioned 12th in the Apertura 2025 standings with four points, having recorded one win, one draw, and two losses. Upon his arrival in Guadalajara, Cocca expressed enthusiasm about rejoining the club, describing it as a dream to be back. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid's coach Diego Simeone remains undefeated in season openers over 13 LaLiga seasons, with seven wins and six draws, and continues to approach his role with passion and energy.
