It was known that everything had been agreed upon and that it was only a matter of time before it would be announced.

But yes, I spoke with German coach Ralf Rangnick. He mentioned Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Klopp, and Flick to me. We came to the conclusion that Hansi would be the best fit for us. The decision was made after Deco and Bojan’s trip and meeting with him,” explained the president of the Catalan giant.Flick arrived in June 2024 as a relative unknown to the Spanish public, despite being the mastermind behind Barcelona’s humiliation in the Champions League (8–2); many didn’t know what to expect from him. However, it soon turned out that he was one of the best coaching choices in the club’s recent history. In his very first season, he won all three domestic trophies (league, cup, and super cup), reached the Champions League semifinals, turned a struggling Raphinha into a statistical monster and team leader, and successfully promoted several young players from La Masia.Barcelona want World Cup-winning goalkeeper — Man United also interestedIf you’re wondering why the contract was extended for only one year, let’s clear up the confusion — that was Flick’s own wish.”I’m not the kind of coach who worries about securing his future. I’m glad I have the opportunity to work at one of the biggest clubs in the world, but that’s my style — I prefer to go year by year. I think it’s the best way, both for me and for Barcelona. Now I have one year ahead of me. And maybe another one if everything goes well. I want to finish the job here on a high note” said the former Bayern coach.##NAJAVA_MECA_8939450##
