The account of the late Dutchman has tweeted about Setien

Quique Setien has only just arrived at Camp Nou as Barcelona boss but he already has the backing of Cruyffismo. Johan Cruyff left us in 2016 but his official Twitter account is still active, ran by those that manage his legacy. 

From said account, a tweet has been posted wishing the new Barcelona coach luck after it was confirmed he would replace Ernesto Valverde late on Monday night. 

Almost as if blessing his appointment, Cruyff points out that Setien was considered "the most Cruyff-like coach" in 2018. 

Setien is also wished luck during his spell at Camp Nou, which gets underway on Sunday with a home game at Camp Nou against Granada.
