Coaches "Barcelona": the most famous leaders of one of the most titled clubs in Spain

"Barcelona" is a Catalan club with a rather rich and interesting history. Like many well-known teams today, the Spanish started modestly. But today they are one of the best clubs in their country and, what's there to hide, Europe. However, nothing happens without teamwork. And a lot of effort spent on the creation of an appropriate reputation coaches, "Barcelona", which is worth a little talk.

As an introduction

To begin with, I would like to say a few introductory words. It is interesting to know that the coaches of "Barcelona" in this club are changing very rarely. We all know very well that much depends on this person. After all, the coach is the team leader. Only he approves the main line-up and carefully develops the strategy of matches, corrects it directly during the game. Only the coach is given the right to make substitutions, due to which it would be possible to improve the account. The person has a lot of duties. He must be a coach, a teacher, a friend, and a psychologist. All responsibilities can not be counted. But if it is also the head coach of Barcelona, then he has great hopes, high demands are made and powerful pressure is put on him. Because if the team is at such a high level, its leader must not only support it, but also raise it.

History

The very first, already, of course, the former coach of "Barcelona" - this is John Barrow. He took a position of honor in 1917, almost a hundred years ago. Before him 15 years (after all, "Barcelona" was founded in 1902), as a coach played a football player, who was part-time and captain of the team. After all, in those days, many teams are exactly the way things were - there was no way to appoint a separate coach.

One of the most famous people who held this post is Johan Cruyff. If we talk about what kind of coaches, "Barcelona" have achieved great success with the club, then the first thing worth noting is it. The club together with him four times became the champion of Spain, once won the second place in the tournament and twice - the third. Also, the coach helped the team to come to the victory in the Cup of Spain and three times - to the first place in the Super Cup. And more than once the club together with Johan Cruyff reached the Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Super Cup (once they even managed to win the trophy). Together with the team, the coach stayed until 1996. The last time, "Barcelona" under the guidance of Cruyff reached the final of the Cup of Spain, and then he left the club, completing his career.

Until 2015

Many talented sportsmen held the post of coach in this club. Ferdinand Dauchik, Frank Rijkaard, Louis Van Gal, Jack Greenwell, Elenio Herrera ... All of them are very talented coaches of "Barcelona". And, of course, Josep Guardiola - perhaps one of the most famous team leaders. With the Catalan club, he won 14 titles. Three times led them to victory in the Championship of Spain, twice they managed to get the Cup of the country. 2 times they became winners in the Champions League. Three times - the owners of the Super Cup of Spain. They also managed to win 2 times the club world championship. And one time to get the UEFA Super Cup. Guardiola is a really good, competent coach, and one can see from his successes.

Present time

Since 2014, coach of the "Barcelona" was Luis Enrique. By the way, he is a former player of the Catalan club. Eight years he played for "Barcelona"! But in the status of the coach is still the second consecutive season. For this very modest time span he managed to lead the team to another title of the champions of Spain, and also to win together with them the Cup of the country and the UEFA Super Cup. And, of course, the most significant trophy is the victory in the Champions League. Bringing the Catalans to victory, Luis Enrique gained recognition and respect for the fans. And it's worth a lot, especially in the field of football.
