Hola amig@s! ⚽ Big surprise in the Chinese Super League: Quique Setien has stepped down as Beijing Guoan's head coach with four matches left on the season clock.
After taking charge on December 10, 2024, Setien led Guoan through 32 official matches, racking up 19 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. The team even topped the CSL table at midseason, but the second half of the campaign didn't go as planned, and they fell out of title contention.
Now, with 4 games to go, Beijing Guoan sits fourth with 51 points (15W-6D-5L). Shanghai Port leads the pack with 57 points, followed by Chengdu Rongcheng (55) and Shanghai Shenhua (54). 🔥
Setien's final outing ended in a 3-0 loss to Australia's Macarthur in the AFC Champions League 2, marking the end of his chapter in the Chinese capital.
The 67-year-old Spaniard started playing at Racing Santander and later coached top La Liga teams like Real Betis and Barcelona. Now, the big question is: who will step up for the final stretch? 🤔
Don't miss the next twists in this thrilling CSL season – stay tuned! 🚀
