The 2001–02 campaign was the 96th season in Atlético Madrid's history and their 2nd season in Segunda División of Spanish football. Also the club competed in Copa del Rey.

Summary

During the summer, with Paulo Futre as director of football, appointed club legend Luis Aragonés as the new head coach on 31 May 2001.[1] Previously, the former player acted as coach during several seasons in the past: 1974–80, 1982–87 and 1991–93. The main reason for his arrival was clinching the last season a UEFA Champions League spot for underdogs Mallorca, and now had the mission of saving Atletico from the Segunda División. Owing to financial troubles, Futre transferred several players out the squad, including top goalscorer Salva to Valencia in exchange for Uruguayan striker Diego Alonso[2], and young playmaker Hugo Leal to Paris Saint-Germain, as well as an additional 14 players.[3] The squad was reinforced with four players from Mallorca and more Spanish players in contrast to previous seasons, where the club bought a lot of foreign players.

Finally, on 27 April 2002, the team clinched the promotion to La Liga[4] after two years in the Segunda División. Also, in Copa del Rey, the club was eliminated early by Rayo Vallecano in Round of 64.[5]
