Quique Setien is full of pride taking charge of Barcelona.

Setien was appointed as Ernesto Valverde's successor on Monday, but the Barcelona head coach is still amazed the week he has had.

Since leaving Real Betis last summer, Setien had been without a club, but the style of play he has wanted his teams to implement fits the Barcelona philosophy.

"I never thought this could happen," Setien told Barcelona TV.

"I was telling people that it was impossible for me to go to Barcelona.

"I told them not to get their hopes up. I have a short CV.

"For the vast majority it's not enough.

"The excitement is huge and now it's true that I'm in coach mode.

"I'm getting ready, although I still get excited when I enter the Ciudad Deportiva or go to the stadium.

"I get very excited about things. I've taken the flight of my dreams."
