Enrique Cerezo Torres [enˈrike θeˈɾeθo] (born 27 February 1948), is a Spanish film producer and the current president of Atlético Madrid, a position he has held since 2002.

Cinematographic career

Cerezo began in cinema in 1967 as a camera assistant in the movie Un millón en la basura.[1] Three years later, he directed his first and only film, La sonrisa del sol: Almería.

After being involved as a producer in several films starting in the 1980s, he created his own production company (Enrique Cerezo P.C.) in the early 1990s.

La hora de los valientes and La vida de nadie
.

In 2012 he was awarded at the X Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes 'Almería en corto' for the film La sonrisa del sol: Almería.[3][4]

Presidency of Atlético Madrid

After the promotion 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

Milan
, but despite this, the club finished the season in 12th position.

In the

Matías Emanuel Lequi
arrived. The club finished in seventh position, making it a poor season.

In the 2004–05 season, the club replaced their coach again, hiring César Ferrando and he aimed to renovate Los Rojiblancos. At that time, the club purchased central defenders Pablo Ibáñez and Luis Perea. Ferrando's plans did not materialize and the club finished 11th, again outside of European football.

In the 2005–06 season, veteran Carlos Bianchi was appointed by the club. Atlético made great investments by bringing stars like Martin Petrov, Maxi Rodríguez and Mateja Kežman. Nevertheless, however, the team did not produce good results and Bianchi was dismissed midway through the season, replaced by Pepe Murcia.

In the

scored twice, the second being an extra-time winner in the 116th minute, as Atlético Madrid won 2–1.

In the 2010–11 season, Atlético had a comparatively disappointing performance, finishing only seventh in La Liga and being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and the group stage of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. This ultimately led to the departure of manager Sánchez Flores before the conclusion of the season, who was replaced with ex-Sevilla manager Gregorio Manzano, and who secured the final Europa League place for Atlético. Manzano himself was replaced with Diego Simeone in December 2011 after a poor run of form in La Liga.

In the

Copa del Rey final
, in a tense match where both teams finished with ten men. This ended a 14-year and 25-match winless streak in the Madrid derby.

The 2012–13 season saw the club finish with three trophies in a little over a year. As the undefeated winners of their Champions League group against FC Zenit, FC Porto and Austria Wien, and later defeating AC Milan, FC Barcelona and Chelsea in the knock-out rounds, Atlético played their first Champions League final since 1974, in Lisbon's Estádio da Luz against city rivals Real Madrid. The match went into extra time and ended in a 4–1 loss. However, Atlético did have the consolation of winning La Liga for the first time since 1996, with Godín's headed equaliser against Barcelona on the last day of the season, a week before the Champions League final.
