Atlético Madrid opened a new chapter in its history with the appointment of Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, who had been successful managing Osasuna. With the club-record signing of superstarlet Sergio Agüero as well as Mariano Pernía and Raúl García, Atlético emulated at repeating Aguirre's recent feat of taking Osasuna to UEFA Champions League. The end result was 60 points, the best points haul in its five-season La Liga return, although this was not enough even for UEFA Cup qualification, which resulted in captain Fernando Torres departing for Liverpool, the transfer causing fury among the support. It was the sole season that he and Sergio Agüero played together.
The 2006–07 season was Atlético's most recent without participation in any European competition.
Kit
In March 2006, Nike announced that the home kit for the forthcoming season will leave the usual stripes and feature halves instead, with the home kit consisting of halves in red and white and the away kit consisting of halves in navy blue and white.[1] However, due to a massive negative reception from the fans, the club refused to use the red and white kit as their home choice. Finally, Nike decided to bring back the 2005–06 kit as their home choice, while both new kits will serve as away choices, depending on the color combinations used by the opposing team.[2]
