There were a lot of doubts about his fit at FC Barcelona when Hansi Flick was appointed as the head coach of the Blaugrana team. However, with the way his team has performed in his very first season in Spain, this decision to bring him as Xavi Hernandez’s successor now seems nothing less than a masterstroke.
The German tactician has already led the Catalans to the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey glory and is now looking to get another two trophies, i.e., the UEFA Champions League and La Liga.
Meanwhile, highly satisfied with his performances, Barcelona are also looking to extend his contract. In fact, the two sides are reported to be already in agreement about a new contract, and only the final details are remaining to be ironed out to extend Flick’s stay till 2027.
Barcelona to finalize a new contract for Hansi Flick in the coming week
In such a context, Mundo Deportivo reveals that this new contract will be finalised between the two sides after the second leg of the UCL semi-final tie against Inter Milan and before the league El Clasico against Real Madrid, which is scheduled for 11th May.
Between these two games, a meeting is scheduled to take place between the Catalan side and Hansi Flick’s agent, Pini Zahavi. The Israeli agent will be attending the upcoming El Clasico at the Estadi de Montjuïc and will take advantage of his visit to the city to meet face to face with the Barcelona sporting officials and finalise his client’s new contract.
Official announcement will come later
Although this new contract will be finalised between the two sides between these two games, the final signing and the official announcement will be made later. This announcement will be made at a calmer date, probably once the league has been decided, or if the Catalans win the league significantly before a potential UCL final.
With this new contract till 2027, Hansi Flick will stay at the Blaugrana club till a year after Joan Laporta’s term, which ends in 2026. However, there is complete consensus among the fans that the coach has earned this reward, and this is not going to be a problem.
