On 1 August 2022, Vilagut returned to Vilanova, being named first team manager in Primera Catalana.[6] He renewed his contract for a further year on 23 June 2023,[7] and despite leading the club to a promotion to Lliga Elit at the end of the season, he was let go on 22 May 2024.[8]
On 23 July 2024, Vilagut joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona after being appointed manager of the Juvenil A squad.[9] The following 30 June, after a good overall performance in the División de Honor Juvenil, he was named in charge of farm team CF Pobla de Mafumet in the sixth division.[10]
In June 2026, after leading Pobla to a promotion to Tercera Federación, Vilagut's contract was extended for a further campaign.[11]
