Juanma Lillo es uno de esos entrenadores que han sido maestros de entrenadores. Maybe, mejor enseñando que ejecutando el mismo la función. The truth, es que su currículum arroja cuatro descensos, unos cuantos ceses y una trayectoria vacía de títulos, como primer entrenador eso si. Ya que como segundo de Pep Guardiola en el City campeón de Europa, no le fue ido nada mal.
Lillo started very early in the world of the dugout. Born on 3 November 1965, con 30 years, He got his biggest hit was on a bench, double rise of category Salamanca from Second Division B to the top flight. Thanks to the prestige acquired in Salamanca, He was signed by Real Oviedo where he debuted in First and was first ceased. He went through the Tenerife where in his second season was also stopped. After almost two years without training, in it 2000 It was signed by Real Zaragoza, which eventually also throwing for their poor performance. It was the third team in which he was after his departure from Salamanca and three, they had cast. His prestige was gradually running out.
It took three more years until he picked up the reins of another computer, this time Second Division. Cogió las riendas de un debutante Ciudad de Murcia que como no, acabó cesando al técnico. Lillo continued accumulating redundancies, four in his last four teams. His next step was Terrasa, Second also at that time, where he eventually resigned almost dropped the team, ahead of him thrown. Su credibilidad en un banquillo en esos momentos era ya nula. Con su prestigio como entrenador por los suelos, se fue a probar fortuna a México, where he joined the Dorados de Sinaloa. Over there, fichó a un Pep Guardiola cuya carrera como futbolista estaba prácticamente acabada y aún no se había convertido en el entrenador de éxito que es hoy en día.
With controversy and a very murky way, his team finished down , en otro fracaso de un técnico que colecciona descensos y ceses de una manera barbara. It took two years to re-sign with a team and made by the Royal Society at that time, He militated in Second Division. Here there was an unusual event in his career since 1995, It was not ceased even in his second season, It was not renewed. At least he not accumulated a decline. Su último equipo fue el Almería, already in the first division where a 20 November 2010. Después de tres años inactivo, ejerciendo de comentarista de televisión, puesto que parece le viene mejor dada su retórica y conocimiento de todo lo que envuelve el fútbol, siempre a su modo de ver, el técnico llega a uno de los grandes de Colombia.
How Juanma Lillo as coach?. Defender of the beautiful game, del fútbol elaborado y de calidad, muy del estilo de Jorge Valdano, He came to be in the pools of Barcelona (or that someone wanted to sell) para ser el entrenador de los cules. Viewing your history, riddled with failures, decreases, separations and absent from titles, The matter seemed the less a joke. Seen as the eternal promise of the Spanish bench since with 30 years burst as a young and innovative technical, Lillo, se lanza a la aventura en el fútbol colombiano donde la prensa de aquel país ha llegado a calificarlo como “one of the best tactical strategists Spanish football” o “mentor and teacher Pep Guardiola”. Una gran trayectoria en los banquillos no tendrá pero un grandísimo representante y asesor de imagen parece que si. After accumulating so many failures, They continue considering him as a good coach in some places, not in Spain, where it seems that their credit ran out long ago. Esperemos que por Colombia le vaya mejor. Mucha suerte, pues la va a necesitar.
