Setien is ‘incompetent and completely overwhelmed’ at Barcelona – Dugarry

Barcelona head coach Quique Setien is “completely overwhelmed” with the task facing him at Camp Nou, claims former Blaugrana forward Christophe Dugarry.

Following a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, the Catalans need Real Madrid to drop points in at least two of their remaining six matches to stand any chance of retaining the Liga title.

While a run of three draws in four games is not up to the standard expected of the club, matters are reportedly coming to a head behind the scenes, with the squad rapidly losing faith in the former Real Betis coach, who only took charge in January and Barca having resolved to sack him if the club ends the season without the league or Champions League.
