Manolo Preciado died 6 June 2012. Hoy hace justo un año nos dejaba uno de los entrenadores más carismáticos, llanos y auténticos que habían en este cada vez más poco romántico mundo del fútbol.

Normalmente cuando la desgracia se ceba con alguien de este mundillo suele impactar pero en este caso en concreto, because it is who is, did it hurt, because in the world of football there are few, very few as was the.

Manolo Preciado was an uncle of foot, honored, near, honest and would not shut up I thought. He was able to stop him a whole Mourinho, hasta el punto que este acabo casi admirando al bueno de Manolo.

Lo mismo que hizo en su Racing de Santander, where he was player. There. a character he faced as Dimitri Piterman. Este quería una marioneta y con Manolo lo tenía difícil. He changed money for dignity, algo difícil en el mundo del fútbol y del mundo en general.

Empezó su carrera como entrenador en la Gimnástica de Torrelavega y pasó muy fugazmente por el Murcia pero donde más lo recuerdan es en dos sitios. Gijon and Valencia. In the latter city the cantabro technical bravo had found his second home after passing through the Levant. At home he owned, in a beach area near the town it was where he left this world. There he prepared for presentation to the next day by Villarreal, club that had signed the same day.

Manolo Preciado forged his legend especially in the Levante and Sporting Gijon, in 2004 and in 2008. Levante promoted him after 41 years. En la casa “frog” ya era un héroe, that day 6 June 2012, a year ago, pasó a ser un mito.

En Gijón ascendió al equipo hasta la máxima categoría. Después lo mantuvo con milagros incluido durante dos temporadas hasta que fue cesado injustamente. En tierras asturianas Manolo Preciado es una leyenda.

He did not practice any of those who call big, but never made it takes to earn the respect and affection of the entire football world, because he was already big enough, authentic, un luchador pese a todo.

Al pobre le persiguió la fatalidad en menos de una década. A few years ago his wife died, after one of his two sons lost his life in an accident and his father also died fatally in an accident. Aquella noche de hace un año, the black legend took him ahead. Damned and unfair life.

“Life has hit me hard. I could have made it vulnerable and finish hitting a shot, or you could look up and grow. I chose the second option”. Manolo Preciado (1957-2012)

We do not know what is behind, what happens when we leave this world, but sure, if there's anything, que si existe un mundo paralelo a este y hay fútbol, Manolo is already preparing a seasoned team, with personality, As the. Manolo Preciado, always great.
