BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Quique Setien has echoed Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp in saying football managers should not be asked their opinion on the impact of the coronavirus.

Klopp was widely praised this week for questioning why people with no medical background should be expected to weigh in on the health crisis, which has claimed over 3,300 lives and led to major sports events being postponed or played without spectators.
