On October 21st, Gaby Cairo made his debut as FC Barcelona’s manager. It was against Areneu Agrícola Sant Sadurní, on the same court the now manager made his debut as a player. It was the start of an almost flawless run; Cairo has only lost two matches in six months.

11 consecutive victories

Cairo has led his team to an almost perfect season. So far, Barça have failed to win on only two occasions - once in the OK Liga against Igualada (4-2) an the other, this past weekend in Portugal against Candelaria (3-2) The Azulgranas have only drawn three times in six months: Candelaria (2-2), Viareggio (3-3) and Vilanova (2-2).
