The story of Quique Setién at Villarreal CF only lasted ten months. Since he was presented at the end of October 2022, for the escape of Unai Emery to the colossus Aston Villa, until last Tuesday he was dismissed, the Cantabrian coach little by little he became enemies with all the plots and digging his own sports grave.
The former yellow coach will go down in history for having received songs of “Quique go now!“in his third game in office and having been in charge of the team for only a week, as well as for be whistled for his own hobby in the club’s Centennial Legends match, playing with the veterans of the Spanish team. He never had the sporting wind in his head and no one escapes that he didn’t do too much to redirect such situations either.
It is true that Setién was able to redirect to some footballers who never believed in him in the middle of the second round of last year, leaving the Submarino in 5th place at the end of LaLiga and achieving direct qualification for the Europa League.
but there was a turning point within the club that began to lose confidence in Setién, which was when Fernando Roig ratified his continuity for the current 2023/24 financial year. From then on, the coach distanced himself from the club and Mediterraneanfrom the Prensa Ibérica group, has had access to the main reasons why he was fired.
Make decisions behind the club’s back
With one day left until the end of last season, before the match with Atlético in which there was nothing at stake, Setién decided to vacation for the players without the consent of the club itself, which could not carry out the institutional events that were scheduled.
Flight to the tribute to Joaquín in Seville
That same weekend left in a hurry after the last gameon June 4, to be able to attend Joaquín’s tribute, on the 5th, and subsequently left for his home in Cantabria, without showing interest in the planning and organization of the 2023/24 preseason.
No interest in the situation of the campus
It was surprising within the yellow club that Setién did not maintain any kind of contact with the club during the past month of June, key for present and future sports planning, nor interest in finding out about the situation of the squad.
‘Fiched’ Jaime Paz without consulting him
Outraged that during the holidays He committed to a professional, Jaime Paz, to incorporate her into the coaching staff without having previously consulted with the club. Having become engaged, she could no longer say “no.”
No meetings with ‘his’ coaching staff
In addition, never had work meetings with said professional, recommended by his second coach, Ramiro Amarelle, to see his knowledge and way of working. He hired him because: “They have spoken to me well”, and he left it there.
He went from the technicians who put him from the club
The club incorporated two in-house analysts such as Pepe Alcaide and David Fuster. Never met them to see their knowledge and incorporate them into the team. He met them the same day that the preseason began in the field. He also didn’t ask them what he wanted from them. In fact, Fuster, a former player for the club and Elche, was introduced as “Raúl Fuster”, a clear indication that he did not know who he was.
It arrived three days later than the rest
The players began the preseason with medical tests. Setién arrived three days later and just a while before the start of the first field training. He did not worry about being present like the rest of the team to see what condition the players arrived and were in.
Total divorce with part of the staff
The divorce with the group was total and finally broke out when he gave permission to the players to choose to delay training for half an hour if everyone agreed. UOnce they decided to do it, Setién told them “no”, heor that he outraged the group by going back on his word.
Terrible group sports management
The mismanagement of the group was permanent and worsened. The disagreement with the players And even more so with the heavyweights, it meant that he did not field the best due to acts of indiscipline.
The club insisted both parties do their part for the common good. But Setién was inflexible at all times.
