🤝 President confirms Flick’s future at Barcelona | OneFootball

Hansi Flick will renew his contract with Barcelona ahead of schedule.

This is confirmed by the club president himself, Joan Laporta, who stated in an interview with RAC1, right after his reelection, that the 61-year-old coach, formerly of Bayern and the German national team, is about to sign until 2028 – his current contract was set to expire in 2027.

"He is on board, and we will announce it soon, as he feels very comfortable here," said Laporta, who also mentioned that he would like to renew Deco's contract.

"I would also very much like to renew Deco. The partnership with Flick works very well," he added. 

During his election campaign against his main rival, Víctor Font, Laporta put all his chips on the "Flick card."

"The president is the reason I am here," Flick had already declared in December, referring to the elections.

In the election, Laporta secured 68.18% of the votes (including Flick's own vote), while Font received 29.78%.

Laporta will formally take office in July, after stepping away a few weeks ago for the electoral process.

"The good relationship with Flick is very important," said Laporta, adding that the renewal of the German coach "would bring stability and strengthen our success."

The president went further: "I think it's possible that he stays another five years at Barça. He is a young man, full of energy, and he likes the city."

Flick took over Barcelona in June 2024 and, in his first season, achieved the domestic double (La Liga and Copa del Rey).

Before that, the Heidelberg-born coach led Bayern and the German national team (2021-2023).
