Ruby wants to convince Tito to stay

The first time that Tito Vilanova had power to make decisions in a club as sporting director Figueres in 2004, thought of a young technician of 34 who had broken into the Catalan football bet admirable offensive and a sense of positional play. That coach, Joan Francesc Ferrer name and nickname Sicily 'Rubi' (abbreviation say color as her hair as a child) had conducted two seasons at Vilassar de Mar in Third (2001-03), with individual stalls eighths and attractive as flag football. And in 2003-04 had just taken the Hospitalet (3rd in
Third) to the promotion of promotion to Segunda B, where only losing to the Levant B in the shootout. However, that interest did not work on a contract and made his debut in Segunda B Rubi front of Sabadell, where he met the bitter side of the bench: in February 2005 was dismissed.

Tito Vilanova as Catalan football connoisseur, he did not forget about technical promising of his generation (the Empordà Bellcaire is only 16 months older) who signed for Espanyol youth football. And tracked him. In his first year as Whites, 2005-06, amounted to Espanyol B (2nd in Third) to overthrow the Segunda B after Villarreal B of Luis García Plaza (now coach of Getafe) on promotion. In his first year in Segunda B with the reserves Espanyol finished 13th and failed to complete it in March 2007-08 he met his second stop.
In 2008-09 he joined a project Segunda B impatient like the Ibiza, where they arrived November. And in 2009-10 touched promotions positions Second A in front of Benidorm, which finished 6th. A year without team had raised Rubi park football to pursue the family business, a travel wholesaler. But Raul Agne, Girona coach 2011-12, offered him join his staff as an analyst. Following the dismissal of its guarantor, became assistant coach Urible Yeosu, first, and Javi Salamero after. They were saved by the hair, but he earned the respect of the players. Some advised the board that bet on him as head coach of Girona.
And that's what happened to coincide with the rise of Tito Vilanova first sword in the Barca bench. And who agreed to strengthen their 'coaching staff? As in 2004, the agreement was not possible this time because technical released like Second was an irresistible adventure.

Today Girona bids farewell
Now, after becoming the technical disclosure of the category (4th), to reconcile a city of Girona's history with football and fight for promotion until the last day in a 'play-off' in the end won the Almería, Rubi itself has been persuaded by Tito to make third coach with Jordi Roura, with Aureli Altimira focusing on fitness. Today we bid farewell to Girona in a press conference that promises to be emotional.
That very technical midfielder with an eye for goal who read the parties as a technician in his playing gives the leap to become a coach Barça scholar, a strategist tactician praised by his players for their humane treatment and, most importantly , in the pride of their three children
