Returning to Spanish football, Quique Setien spoke about his time at Barcelona.

The current Villarreal strategist stated: "Barcelona has always been the team I dreamed of coaching, but once there, I realized that I needed to act like Camacho and leave the team. If certain things do not fit your philosophy, there is no need to be a hypocrite, you can simply leave.

Jose Antonio Camacho left Real Madrid after 22 days in 1998.

"Barcelona has players who have won everything in the last 15 years, they have habits and attitudes that have been established over the years and you cannot change that."

"Barcelona still owes me. I told them to pay when they can," revealed the 64-year-old specialist.

"But instead they signed a young player from the second league, Pablo Torre, who will bring them a lot of joy and greatly strengthen their lineup," Setien spoke about the debt.

In the press, reports emerged after Setien's tenure at Barcelona that the coach had disagreements with the club's main star Lionel Messi. As a result, on August 17, 2020, the strategist left the Catalan club.

Setien coached Barcelona for 8 months and during that time achieved 16 wins in 25 matches.
