At Barcelona, Forns coached Josep Samitier and Ferenc Plattkó, among others . In 1928 he won the Spanish Cup and the Catalan Championship with Barcelona. In March 1929, the president of FC Barcelona, Arcadi Balaguer, had to resign. As a result, Forns also had to leave as a coach.

So he was able to help lead FC Barcelona to the first Spanish championship held in the 1929 season .
