Barcelona announces Hansi Flick as new head coach
May 29, 2024 05:34 pm
Barcelona officially announced the appointment of Hansi Flick as its new head coach after confirming the departure of Xavi Hernandez on Wednesday.
Flick comes in as a replacement for Xavi Hernandez after the club said in a statement it had reached an agreement “to sever the contract the coach and his staff had” until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Barcelona announced on Friday it would be changing coaches for next season.
Minutes later, Barcelona published a post on X, formerly Twitter, with a picture featuring a German flag.
It would be the 59-year-old Flick’s first coaching job since being fired by Germany in September last year. He previously spent two years at Bayern Munich, winning the Champions League and back-to-back German league titles.
Hernandez, a midfield great as a player at Barcelona, has left after the team finished a distant second to Real Madrid in the Spanish league this season.
