Enrique Cerezo

Enrique Cerezo Torres [enˈrike θeˈɾeθo] is a cinematographic producer and the current president of Atlético Madrid, a position he has held since 2002.

Cerezo began in cinema in 1971 as a camera assistant in the movie Vente a Alemania, Pepe. Three years later, he directed his first and only film, La sonrisa del sol: Almería.

As a cinema producer, he is the owner of Enrique Cerezo – Cinematographic Productions and has produced many films. His most famous films produced include El perro del hortelano, La buena estrella, Pídele cuentas al rey, Yoyes, Juana la Loca, La hora de los valientes and La vida de nadie.

After the ascent of Atlético Madrid to La Liga in 2002, Jesús 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 2003–04 season, the club sacked coach Luis Aragonés and replaced him with Gregorio Manzano. Great part of the deals of the previous season leave 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.
