Was he the right appointment?
Enrique Setién Solar is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder, and a manager. He is the head coach of La Liga club Barcelona.
Nicknamed El Maestro, he was best known for his Racing de Santander spells, starting and finishing his 19-year professional career at the club and amassing La Liga totals of 374 matches and 58 goals over 15 seasons.
In the 2000s, he started a managerial career, going on to coach several teams including Racing.
Born in Santander, Setién made his La Liga debut in 1977, with his hometown club Racing de Santander. However, during his first spell with the Cantabrians, although used regularly, he was not yet an undisputed starter, and missed the entire 1982–83 season as well as suffering two top flight relegations.
Setién appeared three times for Spain and was selected for the 1986 FIFA World Cup squad, but did not leave the bench during the tournament in Mexico.
Taking up coaching in 2001, Setién started with the club he spent most of his playing career at, Racing, and then switched to Polideportivo Ejido, both in the Segunda División. From 2005 to 2006, he was an assistant coach with the Russia national beach soccer team.
