An agreement that seals success
Hansi Flick has confirmed his stay at FC Barcelona, after a successful season that culminated in winning La Liga. This Sunday, the team lifted the title in an exciting match against Real Madrid at Camp Nou, which has been a decisive factor for the renewal of the German coach's contract.
The agreement, which extends until 2028 with an additional one-year option, reflects the willingness of both the club and Flick to continue working together. Although an official announcement was not expected during the celebrations this Monday, it is anticipated that it could be made public in the coming days, possibly before the current season concludes.
Matchday 36 of La Liga is scheduled between Tuesday and Thursday, and Barça has a crucial visit to Alavés this Wednesday at 21:30. The celebration for the title win will be one of the highlights before the formal announcement regarding the renewal.
Under Flick's leadership, Barça has achieved six victories in seven encounters against their eternal rival, Real Madrid. This impressive record includes two major titles this season: La Liga and the Supercopa de España. In total, Flick has led the club to secure five trophies in just two seasons.
The only defeat against the whites occurred last October at the Bernabéu, but since then, his team has proven to be superior. With this recent 2-0 victory over Madrid, Flick joins legends like Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola in terms of victories over their historic rival.
In his recent statements, Hansi Flick has expressed his ambition to lead Barça to conquer the Champions League and complete the works on the new stadium. To achieve this, he has also requested reinforcements to strengthen the team and face European challenges seriously.
Joan Laporta, president of the Catalan club, had already expressed during his electoral campaign his desire to keep Flick until he decides to retire. At 61 years old, it seems clear that Flick sees Barcelona as his last major professional project.
