Quique Setién becomes Barcelona's next manager

He arrives following the controversial departure of Ernesto Valverde.

F.C. Barcelona appoints former Real Betis head coach Quique Setién as its new manager. Setién has had history turning clubs around as he’s brought Real Betis to European qualification in his first season and had successfully beaten Barcelona in the season prior. However, his predecessor, Ernesto Valverde, found out his fate abruptly, even going as far as to gear up for practice the day of his termination. Planet Futbol’s Luis Miguel Echegaray discusses with Amy Campbell what Setién can bring to this Barcelona squad halfway through the season, and if the club was wrong in the way they handled Valverde’s exit.
