Football - Betis hires Quique Setien as new coach

Real Betis says Quique Setien has signed a three-year contract to coach the Spanish club. Setien will join a club that fired Victor Sanchez del Amo and Gus Poyet last season. The 58-year-old Setien coached Las Palmas for the previous two seasons. After taking over near the start of the 2015-16 season, Las Palmas recovered under Setien and finished in 10th place. Las Palmas enjoyed an excellent start to last season but finished 14th, one spot above Betis.
