It appears that Quique Setien’s managerial journey has hit another rough patch, as Villarreal has officially made the decision to part ways with him. This decision comes in the wake of a turbulent start to the La Liga season for the Yellow Submarine, where they encountered a string of disappointing results.

Villarreal’s campaign began with a series of setbacks, as they found themselves on the losing side in three out of their first four La Liga fixtures. The culmination of their struggles was a match against none other than Setien’s former club, Barcelona, which took place on August 27. In what was a thrilling encounter, Villarreal managed to hold a 3-2 lead, only to see it slip away in the second half, eventually losing 4-3 to Barcelona.

Quique Setien had taken the helm as Villarreal’s head coach in October 2022, and his tenure lasted until September 2023. During his time in charge, the team secured a respectable 5th-place finish in La Liga in the previous season, which also earned them a spot in the Europa League group stage.

However, Setien’s managerial career has been marked by both highs and lows. Prior to his stint with Villarreal, he had a brief but eventful tenure as the head coach of Barcelona in 2020. Unfortunately for him, this period is best remembered for the infamous 8-2 defeat that Barcelona suffered at the hands of Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.

Setien’s rollercoaster journey as a manager serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football. While he has experienced moments of success and setbacks, his time at Villarreal ultimately came to an end due to the team’s underwhelming start to the season. As football fans, we can only wait and see where Setien’s coaching career will take him next and whether he can bounce back from this latest setback.
