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

We believe that the arrival of Mr. Setien will inject new vitality into the team, bring more enjoyable games to Beijing fans, and lead the team to hit higher goals.
