Mr Quique Setién was born in 1958. His playing career started in his hometown Racing Santander. After playing for the team for many years, he also moved to Atletico Madrid and other teams.
After Setién retired, his coaching career also started at Racing Santander and he has coached many La Liga teams such as Las Palmas, Real Betis, Barcelona and Villarreal.
