Enrique 'Quique' Setién Solar (born 27 September 1958) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central midfielder, and the current coach of UD Las Palmas.
Nicknamed El Maestro, he was best known for his Racing de Santander spells, starting and finishing his 19-year professional career at the club and amassing La Liga totals of 374 games and 58 goals over the course of 15 seasons.
In the 2000s, Setién (who represented Spain on three occasions) started a manager career, going on to coach several teams including Racing.
Born in Santander, Setién made his La Liga debuts in 1977, with hometown's Racing de Santander. However, during his first spell with the Cantabrians, although used regularly, he was not yet an undisputed starter, and missed the entire 1982–83 season as well as suffering two top flight relegations.
Afterwards, Setién represented Atlético Madrid during three years: he had two first good seasons, but appeared rarely in his last after some spats with elusive club chairman Jesús Gil.
Setién moved subsequently to lowly CD Logroñés where, after a slow start, he was essential in helping the Riojans successively retain their top flight status. In 1992 the 34-year-old returned to Racing, and scored a career-best 11 goals in the first year in his second spell as the side returned to the top level. He played three more years with the latter, and retired in June 1996 – at nearly 38 – after featuring for Levante UD in the third division play-offs, which also ended in promotion; he appeared in almost 600 official matches in nearly two decades of play, totalling 95 league goals.
