On The Continent: Quique Setién takes charge of Barcelona, the race for the Scudetto, and some January arrivals

It turns out that, if you’re after the coaching job at Barcelona, all you need to show the selectors is an undying love for Johan Cruyff. That’s one of the distinct conclusions we’ve come to on today’s episode of On The Continent...

That’s right, reported fourth-choice Quique Setién takes charge of the Catalans - we discuss how he might actually be a success, while also assessing the legacy of the departing Ernesto Valverde. We then run the rule over Roberto Moreno’s start as Monaco’s new manager after two games against PSG, debate Inter and Lazio’s chances of the Scudetto and review some players that have arrived at English clubs so far this January.
