In August, Quique Setien and his coaching staff travelled to Manchester where they met with Pep Guardiola. They were shown around Manchester City's training centre and just five months later, Setien has been named as FC Barcelona's new coach.
"He was here in Manchester. He and his staff were very friendly. It was a pleasure," admitted Guardiola. "I wish Quique Setien the best. His teams have always played really nice football. I followed him especially during his time at Betis."
