Just like when he was manager of Bayern Munich, the German manager has made the Catalan big club shine again like it hasn’t done for many years.
At FC Barcelona, there is no longer any doubt: Hansi Flick has restored the glory days that have been missing in recent seasons, and has become a central figure in the club’s new project. Therefore, the management at Camp Nou has already started preparations to secure his future beyond 2026 – the year his current contract expires. And do real honor to the 60-year-old when the agreement is extended.

According to the newspaper Sport, an important meeting was held last Tuesday between Joan Laporta, Deco, two other board members and Pini Zahavi, the German manager’s agent. The goal: to lay the foundation for a contract extension at least until 2027, with the possibility of a further year.
Success on all fronts
The results speak for themselves. In his first season as Barcelona coach, Flick has already:
- Won the Supercopa in Saudi Arabia
- Led the team to the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid
- The club is set to win La Liga
- One win away from Champions League semi-finals
He has achieved all this with a dominant style of play and an impressive goal score: 145 goals in only 48 games.
The architect of a winning team
But more than just the numbers, Flick has managed to:
- Building a unified team
- Restoring a good atmosphere in the wardrobe
- Forming strong bonds with the supporters and the club culture
Despite financial constraints, he has adapted without sacrificing ambition or attractive football, and has shown a full commitment to the project.

Extension is only a matter of time
Both the club and the coach are in complete agreement:
- Laporta sees Flick as essential to the club’s future.
- Flick feels at home and appreciated in Barcelona.
Unless something unexpected happens, it’s only a matter of time before the official announcement arrives.
