Enrique Setien Soler

Quique Setien is a Spanish footballer, an adherent of the concept of "total football" and an active coach. Setien's career started with participation in beach tournaments of this sport. Later, the player moved to the professional field, where he represented the interests of Spanish teams in domestic matches and in international competitions.

Enrique Setien was born in the provincial town of Santander on September 27, 1958. His family was not wealthy and lived in a working-class area near the Atlantic Ocean.

Since childhood, Kike loved football. He spent hours in the yard, kicking the ball, and often honing passes on the beach. His talent was appreciated by representatives of the beach soccer team, and the boy entered the field, performing in its composition at summer tournaments. Setien was lucky: a relative, Luis Aizkorbe, was the manager of the Racing Football Club. Noticing the boy's achievements, he recommended the novice footballer to the Perines club.

Taking his first steps in the sports field, Kike studied at the College of Pharmacy and moonlighted in order to have pocket money. He acted as a janitor and was a messenger. In addition to a small income, Setien had the privilege of independently publishing match reports on an old typewriter. So the young man began to analyze his own game and the games in which he was involved.

At 18, Kike became a member of the Racing Club. In 1976, he received an invitation from coach Nando Yeosu. It was assumed that the player would play for free. As compensation, the team members were given boots of famous brands.

Kike Setien is not one of the celebrities who easily talk about news in his personal life, so almost nothing is known about his family, wife and children. The coach has a personal account on Twitter, he prefers author's notes to the publication of photos on Instagram.

Setien has proven time and again that he is a smart tactician and strategist. This is partly due to the intellectual hobby that he acquired in his youth. Enrique loves chess, the skills of this game helped him to correctly place the players on the field. The coach even has a profile on the International Chess Federation website. His rating on the resource is comparable to the status of a candidate for master of sports. For some time, Setien even took part in tournaments along with Vladimir Kramnik and Anatoly Karpov. He also sat at the same board with Garry Kasparov.

The ex-footballer is 182 cm tall, and his weight is currently unknown. The Spaniard is a fan of Lionel Messi.

The professional biography of the midfielder started in 1977 at Racing. For 8 seasons, Kike participated in 100 matches, and in 1985 signed a contract with Atlético. In the Madrid club, he played for 3 seasons and played most of the time in the first team. Together with the team, the footballer won the Spanish Super Cup of the 1984-1985 season.

From 1988 to 1992, Setien represented the interests of the Logrones club. This team showed the skills of a player who was guided by the methodology of Johan Cruyff. It involves constant possession of the ball, making short passes and positioning partners along the lines of the triangle. Athletes who adhere to this tactic are called cruyffists.

In 1992, the midfielder was asked to return to Racing. For 4 years he was the main player of the team. Then Kike moved to the Levante club, where he played for another year, after which he ended his career.

Quique Setien was involved in the Spanish national youth team for a short period of time and managed to enter the field in just 2 games. His debut took place in 1985, when the team fought in a friendly tournament with footballers from Austria. Being in the national team, the player managed to attend the World Cup, which was held in Mexico in 1986. True, he failed to enter the field and prove himself.

Taking a short break, Setien decided to try his hand at being a coach. In 2001 he became the mentor of his native Racing and was involved in the development of the club until 2002. It is curious that along with classic football, Enrique did not forget about beach football. He agreed to the offer of coach Nikolai Pisarev to become his assistant. In 2005, the Spaniard coached the Russian national team. The team was built from scratch and required fundamental preparation. With the participation of Setien, the club reached the European Cup final, beating rivals from Portugal.

A year later, Enrique already coached the Equatorial Guinea national football team. Here the mentor stayed only for 3 months. Then he collaborated with Polideportivo, Logrones and Lugo. In the latter, the coach's position regarding transfers was clearly outlined. When he arrived at the third division club, Kike did not welcome the acquisition and sale of his team's athletes, but worked with the existing players. He managed to bring the team to the second division. The fans were delighted with the head of the club.

From 2015 to 2017, Setien headed the coaching staff of Las Palmas. By turning average players into confident professionals, he instilled in them a zeal to win. The same thing happened at Real Betis, where Setiena became known as the "Tiki-Taki Monster". Already in the first season, the team took 6th place in the ranking and got on the qualifiers for the Europa League. Cooperation with both clubs ended due to behind-the-scenes intrigues and disagreements with the administration.

Kike Setien is one of the few mentors whose team managed to beat Barcelona and Real in the same season. The statistics showed a great time of possession of the ball for Enrique's charges in games, and in 2018, Betis beat Barcelona with a score of 4: 3.

In January 2020, it became known about the dismissal of the head coach Ernesto Valverde from Barcelona football club. In his place was invited the famous Spanish Maestro, as the fans call him, Enrique Setien. Already on January 19, the team under his leadership won their first victory over Granada, and on the 23rd they beat Ibiza on the field. Now the mentor is working on the tactics of the players, helping the players to reveal themselves from a new side.
