Dol al Girona football, who woke up this morning with the news of the death of the legendary former player, former coach and former sporting director of Girona Xavi Agustí, at the age of 82. As a coach, in addition to those from Montilivi, he directed L’Escala, Olot, Banyoles, Figueres, Andorra, Guíxols and Sant Andreu. As a footballer, he stood out in the 60’s in Girona, the club of which he was the top scorer in the 1966/67 season, and also defended the colors of Banyoles, Espanyol (although not making his debut in the elite) and Melilla. (when doing military service). His character had made him one mythical character of Girona footballfull of anecdotes such as shortening the field of Banyoles 10 meters because he had injured ends in a game without anyone noticing, or the famous chapter of the fog, making more players play to show the referee that there was no visibility in the field.
As coach, he led Girona to the promotion to the Second Division in 1992, where the promotion escaped a controversial last day in Salamanca, where nothing was played, and a defeat by 2- 1 that benefited Villarreal. On April 30, Xavi celebrated his birthday, among friends of football, at EF Garrotxa, although his state of health was already delicate.
