Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed on Tuesday that he has signed a new two-year contract with an option for a third season, days after securing a second consecutive La Liga title with the Catalan club.
The 61-year-old German wrapped up his second Spanish league crown with Barcelona on Sunday by overseeing a 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Camp Nou.
“I am very happy and what I have achieved gives me confidence to continue one or two more years,” Flick said at the press conference ahead of Wednesday’s league visit to Alaves.
“For now, I am under contract until 2028, and if everything goes well, we will extend it. It has been a good agreement for both parties. I have seen that I am in the right place.”
Flick joined Barcelona in the summer of 2024 and, in two seasons at the club, has won two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cups. The Champions League, which Flick won in 2020 with former club Bayern Munich, has eluded him since arriving in Catalonia, however.
“For next season, it is a commitment on our part to reach the highest level and win new titles,” Flick said. “Everyone dreams of the Champions League. We have tried and we will keep trying. I am grateful for the trust to continue.”
Prior to taking over at Barcelona, Flick was Joachim Loew’s assistant when the duo led Germany to glory at the 2014 World Cup. As head coach, he enjoyed two trophy-laden seasons with Bayern Munich between 2019 and 2021 before a difficult spell in charge of the German national team.
During his playing career as a holding midfielder, Flick notably made 139 appearances for Bayern Munich, winning four Bundesliga titles.
