Genesio's past coaching career was mainly rooted in his home country, and Setien followed suit. They have both worked in La Liga in the past, but now, both of them have bravely stepped out of their country and embarked on a brand new journey - China, joining Beijing Guoan. One can't help but think that Setien might be another Genesio on the Chinese Super League map. Guoan move, as if trying to recall the glorious years of the European manager!
The current Chinese Super League is in the doldrums, and world-class coaches are not often seen. In terms of international reputation, Shenhua's Russian coach Slutsky is the biggest name. However, the arrival of former Barcelona coach Setien has undoubtedly surpassed Slutsky. He has been the head coach of the Russian national team and has also been in charge of a Premier League team, and is now deservedly one of the leading active coaches in the Chinese Super League!
