Football dictated a whimsical fate for Javier Aguirre's career. In less than a month, Vasco fell against Atlético de San Luis, when he led the powerful Monterrey Rayados squad, but managed to beat the powerful Atlético de Madrid in their second match at the helm of modest Mallorca in Spanish football. The result gave the island team an air of hope and the coach was recognized by Diego Pablo Simeone.

At the press conference following the match held at the Son Moix Stadium, Cholo acknowledged that Atletico Madrid did not give their best match, but gave credit to the tactical approach that Vasco Aguirre entrusted to their players on the pitch.
