MADRID, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Quique Setein is on the verge of being named as the new coach of Real Betis.
The man who coached Las Palmas for the past season and a half, announced around two months ago he would not be continuing at the club and arrived in Sevilla on Thursday night to sign a deal with Betis.
Although the deal has yet to be made official, Setien left fans in no doubt as to what was going to happen when he posted a message on his social network site: "Yesterday I was in yellow and now I am in Green. I was sad yesterday for what I am leaving behind and now I am happy for what I am meeting," reads the message, making reference to Las Palmas' yellow shirts and the green and white of Betis.
Setien will have a difficult task at Betis, who disappointed last season in the Liga Santander, sacking two coaches; Gus Poyet and Victor Sanchez de Amo during the season and ending the campaign with former player, Alexis Trujilo in change on a temporary basis.
