Kiki Sittin got the job of dreams when he coached La Liga champions Barcelona last month, but he is already thinking about an achievement that everyone remembers after his death.
"I want to write on my grave that I won the Champions League with Barcelona," Cittin, 61, said in an interview with the Catalan newspaper L'Esporteo on Saturday.
Sittin was surprisingly chosen to succeed Ernesto Valverde, although the latter won the domestic league title twice in a row and topped the rankings in the first half of the season.
The choice of Citin, the former Real Betis and Las Palmas coach, came after praising his attacking ideas, which he had inspired from Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff, although he had not won any major title in his career but would like to ignore his previous record.
"I have already told the players that there is not much time left for me to lose. I told them that they can help me by winning a title," added Sittin, the oldest La Liga coach.
Seiteen suffered his first defeat with Barcelona when he lost 0-2 from Valencia last week, but he enjoyed a big 5-0 victory over Leganes last Thursday to qualify for the quarter-finals of the King's Cup.
Barcelona will receive Levante in the local league today Sunday.
