The thing is, these coaches, usually have a short life span. They last one or two seasons at a club. Players get burned out and don't respond to the coach after one or two years because so much of what they do is about emotion and sacrifice. To have the longevity that he has is pretty amazing. Especially because he is at Atletico and can't compete with the same weapons as Real or Barça. So the only way they can really win is by being more intense and working harder than these teams. To knock Barcelona out of the Champions League in two out of the last three season is just a great achievement and very hard to find many teams of Atletico's size who have done something similar in the past.
The regular changes actually play to a coach like this's strengths, just like Klopp was able to thrive in the face of big departures, it gave them something to rally the team around and kept introducing enough new faces to avoid that burn out.
