Fernando Gago left the Chivas de Guadalajara bench and this brought problems to the Sacred Flock. The process was cut short and Arturo Ortega will assume the bench on an interim basis. However, for the future, Quique Setién has been linked to the Sacred Flock, a coach who knew how to coach Lionel Messi.
This information was exposed from the Claro Sports portal. The Spanish coach would have been offered quite insistently to the leadership of the Sacred Flock.
“Other alternatives from European football through the Spaniards who still work for the club. The first option that was offered with greater insistence to the Flock was that of the Spanish coach Quique Setién”says the report.
Quique Setién and Messi’s FC Barcelona
In January 2020, Quique Setién was chosen as coach of FC Barcelona. The Spanish strategist came from un great process with Real Betis, a club he coached for 94 games.
But Quique Setién’s time with FC Barcelona was not so successful. In fact, The Santander-born strategist was only on the Blaugrana bench for 25 games.
Even though they had Lionel Messi on the field and a locker room full of stars, Quique Setién did not achieve good results at the club, nor win championships. The Spanish coach led the Blaugrana team in one of its worst periods.
In his short experience at FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi’s team won 16 games, drew 4 and lost 5 games. However, his great stain was 2-8 scored by Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
Furthermore, in the Copa del Rey the culés said goodbye in the quarterfinals, after being defeated by Athletic Club Bilbao. In general terms, Setién’s balance was not so good. But in the memory there are also their great campaigns with Real Betis.
