Enrique 'Quique' Setién Solar (born 27 September 1958) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central midfielder, and is the current coach of Real Betis.

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 games and 58 goals over the course of 15 seasons.[1]

In the 2000s, Setién (who represented Spain on three occasions) started a manager career, going on to coach several teams including Racing.

Playing career

Club

Born in Santander, Setién made his La Liga debuts in 1977, with hometown's 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.

Afterwards, Setién represented Atlético Madrid during three years: he had two first good seasons,[2] but appeared rarely in his last after some spats with elusive club chairman Jesús Gil.[3][4][5]

Setién moved subsequently to lowly CD Logroñés where, after a slow start, he was essential in helping the Riojans successively retain their top flight status. In 1992 the 34-year-old returned to Racing, and scored a career-best 11 goals in the first year in his second spell as the side returned to the top level. He played three more years with the latter, and retired in June 1996 – at nearly 38 – after featuring for Levante UD in the third division play-offs, which also ended in promotion; he appeared in almost 600 official matches in nearly two decades of play, totalling 95 league goals.

International

Setién appeared three times for Spain and was selected for the nation's 1986 FIFA World Cup squad, but did not leave the bench during the tournament in Mexico.[6] His debut came on 20 November 1985 in a 0–0 friendly with Austria, in Zaragoza.[7]

Coaching career

Club

Taking up coaching in 2001, Setién started with his favorite club Racing, then switched to Polideportivo Ejido, both in the second level. After that he moved to another team he played for, Logroñes in division three, being sacked midway through the 2007–08 campaign.[8]

In June 2009, Setién became CD Lugo's coach.[9] He led the side to second division promotion in his third year, a second-ever for the Galicians;[10] in the following three years they managed to stay afloat, ranking between positions 11th and 15th.[11][12][13]

On 19 October 2015, following the sacking of Paco Herrera, Setién became UD Las Palmas' new manager.[14] He arrived with them in the relegation zone, and led them to 11th place in his first season. On 18 March 2017, he announced that he would leave the Canary Islands club at the end of the campaign due to disputes with the board.[15]

On 26 May 2017, Setién was appointed manager of Real Betis on a three-year deal.[16] He led the team to the sixth place in his first year, with the subsequent qualification to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[17]

International

For three months in 2006, Setién coached the Equatorial Guinea national team.[18]

Personal life

Setién's son, Laro, is also a footballer and a midfielder.[19]
