Villarreal’s new coach, Quique Setienaffirmed at the press conference of his presentation that at this moment he believes that it is “the envy of many coaches” for having the opportunity to take the position and thanked for the possibility to reach a club “rare” which characterizes his way of seeing and doing things.
“I didn’t get to a better place I feel like I’m a very happy person and I have a huge illusion that I’m here. I have to admit that I don’t really want to train and I turned down other offers, but this is a family and close club. I saw a good dressing room, with good footballers and a good group and I want to enjoy with them in a club that has made itself and is among the best,” he added.
He admitted that the call to sign Villarreal was unexpected and he thought it was “just a joke”, but it took him five seconds to change his mind. “At that moment I’m disconnected and, certainly, he would not have returned to training”, he affirmed.
“This is a club that is about to win a lot of things. I am ambitious and you know how I like to do things. I told the players that I’ve been away for two years and I have to put myself in a situationbut for two days I was like a motorcycle,” he said.
He pointed out that he had his difference when working in the form of Unai Emery, the coach who left the club this week to sign for Aston Villa. “There are things that can be exploited and we are different from others. The important thing is that the players know me they know my way of playing and it will be easy for them to understand the changes to improve. I’ve noticed how Emery’s team has been and I hope it shows how good I am,” he said.
Regarding Aissa Mandi and Gio Lo Celso, with whom he worked at Betis, he emphasized the great progress shown by Mandi and indicated that Lo Celso gave them a performance “rare“, while praising Gerard Moreno, currently injured, for his football and personal dimension.
Fernando Roig, president of the club, has indicated that he hopes the club will follow its path with Quique Setién and that it will follow him for many years after the restructuring that took place. “I have good sensation And I wish him the best,” he said.
