Quique Setien

Fuck sake.

Madridistas united in not liking this decision.

Bollocks.

You like this decision?

Obviously my choice would have been Poche or Gallardo, but I would take Setien over inexperienced Xavi or pragmatic Koeman. So he is a middle choice for me.

I don't doubt his footballing philosophy or attacking tactics but question marks on his defensive tactics and leadership.

 

[Riordon]

If Setien succeed then we're good.

If he flops it will mean the end of this board who would have probably hired some other mediocre manager anyway.

That’s a nice way to look at it 😀 Still a bit disappointing when guys like Ten Haag or even Gallordo will be available this summer.

But definitely Setien over Koemann or Martinez IMO. At the very least I hope he can develop Arthur/Frenkie/Puiq

excited to watch our first game under him. too bad Frenkie is suspended for the Granada game.

not worried about the attacking style as hes the complete opposite of Valverde. the only thing that is worrying is the leadership issues with the senior players but lets hope he does well in that aspect as well.

 

[Marshall D Teach]

I see it the same way. There will be an improvement in our game, but not the revolution we need. Let's hope this guy is at least as lucky as Valverde's been.

Honestly, I hope he isn't. If he sticks around that long I want him to earn it.

From a "It is what it is" guy to "I question everything" guy...

I like it.

According to Sport, Barcelona can terminate his contract without paying anything at the end of every season.

No. For once I agree with the majority.

So it's a good decision on Barca's part, then.

According to Sport, Barcelona can terminate his contract without paying anything at the end of every season.

Great if true. He's fine until the summer but much more exciting coaches will become available then.

 

[FCBfan22]

"...Setién aimed for possession-based, attacking styles of play, with a desire for vertical passing and quick interchanges..."

Raki and Busi done.

 

[FCBfan22]

According to Sport, Barcelona can terminate his contract without paying anything at the end of every season.

This is a great contract, then.

 

[KingLeo10]

Is Setien the one the commentators and pundits said "out Barcelona Barcelona at the Camp Nou"?

That phrase has stuck with me but don't recall who it was about.

That's sort of misleading. We haven't been Barcelona since like 2016 when MSN began to decline and Rakitic and Busquets (mainly) fell off a cliff.

 

[Messigician]

Watched that in-house produced Barca docu-series - Valverde comes across as very charismatic and intelligent character hope Setien is similar
