Calendar of FC Barcelona

Tito Vilanova died six years ago, but anybody in the FC Barcelona has forgotten him. Neither his family, neither the players neither, of course, some fans that vibrated with the game deployed by the Barça so much in the campaign 2012-13, in which it won the famous 'League of the 100 points', as in the four previous seasons, when Pep Guardiola was first trainer and he, second.

Already they have happened six years from this sad 25 April 2014 but all the barcelonismo remembers with affection the figure of a technician that so only could fulfil the dream to train to the Barça during a season like first trainer, but that took advantage of it to the maximum to conquer a League with 15 points of advantage regarding the Real Madrid.

In addition to this, also was the right hand of Guardiola in the most glorious period in the history of the FC Barcelona, remaining always at the side of the of Sampedor to advise him and help him in everything. As first trainer, took also sportive decisions very hit, like advancing a year the signing of Neymar Jr to avoid, of this form, that other clubs like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich carried it to him before.

Finally, with 45 years of age, Tito Vilanova left us by fault of a cancer in the gland parotid. After living an impressive stage like second technician, with 14 titles of 19 possible until the course 2011-12, marvelled also leading the bench in spite of having to ausentarse during long periods to treat the cruel illness that finish with his life.

In the club wanted to surrender him a small tribute to this big man five years ago, since it did effective the change of name of the field number 1 of the Sportive City of Sant Joan Despí and happened to call "Field of training Tito Vilanova" in homage to the ex player and ex trainer of the Barcelona club.

Tito Vilanova, eternal

Tito Vilanova triumphed like first trainer of the FC Barcelona, but for Guardiola was much more that an assistant during all the stage of the of Sampedor in the bench of the Camp Nou. It was fellow and adviser of the current technician of the Manchester City and were not few the times that saw him asking him council in moments complicated. In Can Barça, anybody will forget him never. Tito is eternal and will be always in the heart of the barcelonismo.
