4 coaches that could land the Spain job 

#1 Quique Setién

Real Betis v Malaga - La Liga

Quique Setién would be a bold and popular choice given the success he has had in La Liga in recent years with Las Palmas and Real Betis. His attacking football has won many admirers and he is highly thought of by the Spanish Football Federation, who considered making a move for him prior to this World Cup following the departure of Lopetegui.

However, the one very obvious obstacle to a move for Setién then and now is that he is just one year into his reign at Betis and appears to be laying the foundations for a real challenge at home and in Europe in 2018/19. Betis would certainly be reluctant to let him leave without a fight and there is no guarantee that Setién would take the job in any case.

Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales is already dealing with a lot of criticism for his handling of Lopetegui’s departure and may not be willing to risk the embarrassment that would accompany a failed move for Setién.
