Setien Speaks On Being Barcelona Coach Next Season (See What He Said)

Posted by E.L.E.X on July 15 2020 under Sports

Quique Setien expects to remain as Barcelona coach next season despite it looking unlikely he will guide them to La Liga success.

Setien replaced Ernesto Valverde in January and was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year deal, with his possession-based brand of football thought to be a good fit for the club after fans grew frustrated with his predecessor.

But the former Real Betis coach has not been able to inspire the kind of improvement some hoped for, while draws with Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid at the end of June look set to cost them in the title race.

“Of course, I see myself training Barca next season,” he told reporters. “I have already experienced this before.
“The reality is that the expectations one has haven’t been achieved, or not yet, but the work done is what must be valued.
“This is what I understand, or what I would like to see assessed. Of course, I think about next year’s continuity.”

Regarding the seemingly imminent confirmation of failure in La Liga, he added:

“I take my share of the responsibility, but not all of it.
“Making that assessment of finding a culprit always focuses on the coach. I don’t feel that we did things so badly, drawing three games [since the resumption]. More merit should go to Madrid, who have won every game.”
