ディエゴ・シメオネ
In the 2003–04 season, the club sacked coach Luis Aragonés 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 Matías Emanuel Lequi arrived. The club finished in seventh position, making it a poor season.
