José María Bernadas

José María Bernadas Viladesau (14 April 1886 – 12 April 1933) was a Spanish businessman and sports leader. He was the 8th president of RCD Espanyol between 1915 and 1918.

Early and personal life Bernadas was born on 14 April 1886 in Rosario, Santa Fe, as the son of Salvador Bernadas and Mercedes Viladesau, natives of Barcelona. Zamora proved to be crucial in Espanyol winning the 1917–18 Catalan championship. In 1917, Espanyol denounced FC Barcelona for the improper alignment of Juan Garchitorena, a Filipino player that Barcelona lined up in a handful of games in the Catalan championship, where foreigners cannot participate, thus causing the infamous Garchitorena case, which resulted in the Blaugrana club withdrawing from the competition that was eventually won by Espanyol.

Death Bernadas died at 3:00 pm in Barcelona on 12 April 1933, just two days before his 47th birthday.
