Hansi Flick, a former coach of Germany and Bayern Munich, has been named manager of Barcelona for a two-year period.

“It is a big honour and a dream to sign the contract with this amazing club,” Flick said. “The hours I have been here in Barcelona have been amazing. Everyone here loves this club and gives their best to have success.

“The philosophy is similar to mine: ball possession and really attacking football, which are things I love. Barcelona also has one of the best academies in the world and a good mix of experience and young talent. It’s our job now to work together and improve them. For me, teamwork is really important.

“I won titles with Bayern. My hunger for titles is really big, and I would like to stay on this path with Barcelona. We can achieve a lot together.”

Flick has been out of work since September 2023, when he was fired by the German national team following a group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup and a run of poor results after the tournament.

He had previously overseen great success at Bayern, winning the Champions League as part of a historic treble in 2020, before he took on the Germany job in the summer of 2021.

Flick’s chances of landing the Barça job appeared to end last month when it was revealed Xavi would fulfil his contract, which was due to run until 2025, but events then took another turn.
