Valverde, the 29º trainer that has been player of the Barça

From his first years like club, the FC Barcelona always has identified cn the philosophy to bet by people of the house to the hour to direct to the team. With Ernesto Valverde goes back to repeat this tradition, that dictates that a big majority of technicians of the Barcelona group have happened, previously, by the team like players. There they knew what represents to carry the T-shirt culé, being able to transmit it of the best way to his pupilos.

The Txingurri only was two season in the Catalan discipline, but were very intense. Nevertheless it had of teacher to a Johan Cruyff. Yes, another míster that previously had been player culé, conquering titles for later implant a philosophy that has pervivido until our days, and like this will follow doing it.

The last in these lides have been the Guardiola, Vilanova, Roura and Luis Enrique that piloted the ship until the conquest of 24 titles of 36 possible. From the first, that was Jack Greenwell in 1913, until Valverde, a total of 29 technicians have given the step of the lawn to leader of the changing room.

Kubala Or César, other ilustes in the bench

It does not be necessary to forget of names like the myths Kubala or César, that also enjoyed of periods of time like trainers. The first in 1961 until 1962 and in 1980. César, instead, was sentenced by a 5-1 in the field of the Raise, there by October of 1964, when the football was pure and did not have at all that see with the current.

A lot of names, a lot of histories (some good others no so much) carries after if the bench culé. And Ernesto Valverde will begin to write the sulla in the next months.
