Hans-Dieter Flick, a renowned coach with experience at Bayern Munich and the German national team, has been appointed as the new coach of Barcelona. This comes after Xavi Hernandez was sacked last week. Flick’s contract will run until June 2026, and the club expressed their excitement about the new partnership.
Barcelona announced the agreement with Flick in a statement, highlighting his impressive coaching career, which includes multiple trophies with Bayern Munich. Despite being let go by the German national team in 2023 due to poor results, Barcelona sees Flick as a top coach who can lead them to success. The 59-year-old occasionally watched Barcelona matches this season and was linked with the job after Xavi announced his departure in January.
However, Barcelona ultimately decided to part ways with Xavi and bring in Flick to lead the team. Xavi warned Flick about the challenges that lie ahead, emphasizing the importance of winning to overcome difficulties. The club had a tough season last year, finishing as runners-up in La Liga and being eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain.
With Flick now at the helm, Barcelona will look to turn their season around and compete for top honors in the coming years. The club president Joan Laporta was reportedly unhappy with some of Xavi’s comments regarding the club’s financial struggles. However, he expressed excitement about Flick’s appointment and believes he will be able to guide the team towards success.
