Calendar of FC Barcelona

Along 22 years in the presidency of a club like the FC Barcelona, results logical that can chain big tarpaulins with tremendos errors. This same him sucedió to Josep Lluís Núñez during the more than two decades that happened chairing to the Barcelona, and in which it attained that big stars like Diego Armando Maradona, Ronaldo Nazário, Romario or Ronald Koeman dressed the elastic Barcelona.

At the same time that promoted The Masia so that the FC Barcelona could form to young promises from his starts, Núñez signed roughly a hundred of national signings and foreigners that catapulted to the FC Barcelona until the highest, although of course no all worked.

It was Josep Lluís Núñez the one who decided on the signings of the FC Barcelona and also for the bench, being only advised by Joan Gaspart, his sportive vice-president and right hand in the presidency. Under the control of Núñez created The Masia and from here were going out with the step of the years appoint so famous like Sergi López, Luis Mile, Guillermo Love, Pep Guardiola, Xavi Hernádez, Puyol, Víctor Valdés, Iniesta...

The base of the sportive project, nevertheless, went the signings. Hansi Krankl, Boot of Gold in 1978, went the first in arriving during the 'Was Núñez' in return of 70 million pesetas (421.000 euros), and since alternated stars with failures. Roberto Dynamite, Romerito, Litmanen or Bogarde did not triumph never in the Barça.

Neither they did it big stars recognised like Diego Armando Maradona, by the one who the club spent 1.000 million pesetas in 1982, some 6 million euros. The Argentinian had to form beside Bernd Schuster a brutal tandem, but never arrived to despegar fruit of the injuries and the fault of adaptation. Those who himself triumphed, and a lot, were Koeman, Laudrup, Stoichkov and Romario, the leaders of the 'Dream Team'.

Also they arrived to the Barça the British Lineker, Hughes, Archibald; the Brazilian Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Sonny Anderson, Giovanni Silva; the Dutch of Go Gaal (Kluivert, Cocu, Hesp, Frank and Ronald of Boer, Zenden...) And other players that had luck dispar. Allan Simonsen caló deep between the fans in the years 1970 and principles of the 1980, whereas Popescu and Figo became captains, but finish leaving the Barça by the rear door.

The Barça fichó even more after the 'Law Bosman'

After the 'Law Bosman', with the free circulation of community, arrived other international footballers that did not surrender to good level, as they were the cases of Vítor Baía, Kodro, Dugarry, Pellegrino, Blanc, Ciric, Déhu, Simao, Amunike, Witchsge, Ekelund, Vucevic... All this without explaining to Spaniards like Alexanko or Quini, died recently less than a year, and Urriti, Víctor Muñoz, Periko Alonso, Julio Alberto, Marcos Alonso, Pichi Alonso...

In definite, a sinfín of stars that constituted the base of the 'Dream Team' in his moment (Bakero, Begiristain, Eusebio, Julio Saltworks), and of others that surrendered to good level with the Barcelona T-shirt in spite of not having so much name, as Luis Enrique (1996).

Some signings that went to stop to the hands of until 13 distinct trainers: Lucien Müller, Quim Rifé, Helenio Herrera, Laszy Kubala, Udo Lattek, Josep Lluís Romero, César Luis Menotti, Terry Venables, Luis Aragonese, Johan Cruyff, Carles Rexach, Bobby Robson and Louis Go Gaal. A lot of movement in two decades of presidency for Josep Lluís Núñez, a president to the one who liked him carry the control of everything.
