Gerard Bofill Vaqué (born 23 February 1992) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right back, and is a manager.
Playing career
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Bofill represented CE Sabadell FC and Girona FC as a youth.[1] After finishing his formation, he returned to Sabadell after signing for the reserves in Segona Catalana.[1]
In 2013, after achieving promotion with the B-team to Primera Catalana, Bofill had to retire after being diagnosed with a osteosarcoma in his right tibia.[1]
Managerial career
After taking a break from football, Bofill worked as a fitness coach for Girona FC B in 2016.[2] On 30 November 2022, he returned to Sabadell and their reserve side, replacing Jordi López as manager.[3] [4]
Bofill's spell at Sabadell B only lasted three matches, as he became Miki Lladó's assistant in the first team late in the month.[5] In April 2023, he took over the team for four matches after Lladó was suspended.[6]
On 10 October 2023, Bofill was named first team manager, after Lladó's dismissal.[7] His debut match in charge of the Arquelinats occurred on 14 October 2023, a 3–1 Primera Federación away loss to CF Rayo Majadahonda.[8]
On 19 November 2023, after another five defeats which saw the club drop to the last position of the table, Bofill was sacked.[9]
Personal life
After being diagnosed with his disease, Bofill moved to Girona and started in 2016 to build a self-sustainable house in Sant Aniol de Finestres which later became a hotel named Can Buch.[1] [10] The hotel opened in 2020.[11]
