The former Real Betis manager was appointed Barca boss earlier this season following the dismissal of Ernesto Valverde, although he was not the first choice, with former club captain Xavi turning down the job before Setien was appointed. The 61-year-old boss is optimistic, however, and has set his sights on winning the biggest prizes available to the club - and then going back to his home as a champion. Setien told TV3: "I have told the players many times that I don't have time to lose, and I'd like to win both the Champions League and La Liga.
