Vic Buckingham 1969-1972
Appointed Barcelona manager in December 1969 after, among other things, two spells at Ajax. Won the Copa del Rey in 1971 but left the club within a month. Returned a year later to manage Sevilla but did not last long there either
Terry Venables 1984-1987
El Tel, who brought Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes to Spain, enjoyed an eventful three years at Camp Nou, taking the club to their first league title in 11 years in 1985 and reaching the European Cup final a year later. They lost that to Steaua Bucharest and he was dismissed in September 1987
John Toshack 1985-2004
