List of FC Barcelona managers

Josep Guardiola the former manager of the club.

FC Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Spain, which plays in the Spanish league, La Liga. The first full-time manager for Barcelona was John Barrow. He was signed by the founder of Barcelona, and then director, Joan Gamper, and was dismissed four months later without winning a title.

The most successful FC Barcelona manager in terms of trophies won is Johan Cruyff, who won four La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey trophy, three Supercopa de España, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup trophy, one UEFA Champions League titles and one UEFA Super Cup in his 8-year reign as manager.

Pep Guardiola was also the most successful manager in terms of trophies per year. In 2009, Guardiola's first year, Barcelona became the first club in Spain to win the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League. Later they became the first football team ever to win six out of six competitions in a single year, thus completing the sextuple, comprising the aforementioned treble and the Spanish Supercup, European Supercup and FIFA Club World Cup.[1] Gerardo Martino took over from Tito Vilanova in July 2013.

List of managers

Johan Cruyff won La Liga four consecutive times as manager of Barcelona.

During the first 29 years of Barcelona's existence, from 1899 to 1928, Spain did not have a national football league. Barcelona competed in the championship of the Catalonia region, the winners of which qualified for the Copa del Rey along with the other regional champions.[2][3]

In February 1929, Spain's first national football league was formed, with Barcelona among the founder members.[4] The club also competed in the Campionat de Catalunya (Catalan Championship) until it was abandoned in 1940.[2] The Copa del Rey continued alongside La Liga.[5] Clubs continued to qualify for it based on their placings in the regional championships until 1940, when it became open to all teams in the top two divisions of La Liga and selected other teams.[6]
