It was Andorra v Oviedo again, but this time Quique Setién wasn’t watching. He was busy and had better things to do
This Saturday, five months on, Andorra played Oviedo again as the second leg of the season started. They won again, 3-1, to move to three points off the playoffs tobut this time Setién wasn’t watching. He had better things to do, things neither he nor anyone else imagined: he was busy beating Real Madrid.
It wasn’t just the result, it was how it had happened. All of it. Setién had calls but most of the time he didn’t pick up the phone and would have preferred them not to either. He had changed his number. Barcelona had been his dream but it had not gone. He had read about his sacking when the statement came out and for months hadn’t been paid off, while his staff were officially kept on as employees. He had not been himself, he said, and wondered if this was a world for him any more.
Setién’s new assistant was 44-year-old former beach football superstar Ramiro Amarelle, who had played 11-a-side at youth level with Deportivo de la Coruña and who had worked there and at Racing. They joined a well-structured club and inherited a good team with a deep, talented squad. But Setién had done almost nothing in two years and wanted to do quite a lot quite fast, shifting the style.
