Flick is staying! The German extends his contract with Barça until 2028
Hansi Flick not only lifted the La Liga trophy after beating Real Madrid, but now secures his future on the culé bench. The German coach reached an agreement to extend his relationship until the 2027-2028 season, with the option of one more year if everything goes well. Barça has not yet made it official, but Flick already celebrated it.
“I am very happy and what has been achieved gives me confidence to continue for another year or two,” said Flick. “Many technicians would be happy to stay for three or four years, but I think that at Barça it is better to limit it.”
The goal: break the 100 point barrier
The team has 91 points and still has three games ahead. The first obstacle: Alavés this Wednesday. Flick holds nothing back: he wants to make history.
“Our goal is to achieve 100 points and to achieve this we have to win all three games. We have celebrated the title a lot, but now we can play well,” he stated.
A place that feels like home
Flick arrived in May 2024 to replace Xavi Hernández, after coaching Bayern Munich and the German national team. But something changed after Sunday’s classic, where they beat Madrid 2-0. His father passed away before that game, and the coach made it clear that he does not plan to go elsewhere after his time in Barcelona.
“I have seen that I am in the right place,” he commented.
More than a coach, an example of resilience
Flick knows that in sport, as in life, winning is not enough. It’s about building something solid. And with this renewal, Barça is committed to a long-term project. Discipline, mentality and preparation are not clichés for him: they are the basis of everything. Can the team reach 100 points? The race is on.
