FC Barcelona: Hansi Flick wants to coach Lionel Messi | OneFootball

Hansi Flick

FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick dreams of coaching Lionel Messi at the club.

Finally, Barça will return to Camp Nou this Saturday to host Bilbao. Attendance has been capped at 45,000 due to ongoing stadium renovations. However, for Catalan fans, Lionel Messi is not expected to answer the call because of his busy schedule with Inter Miami, who play on Sunday. Still, La Pulga was able to visit the stadium as recently as last week.

During Friday’s press conference, Hansi Flick was asked about the Argentine star’s surprise visit and the possibility of coaching him one day. "Messi is the best footballer of the past ten years, if not more. I've always enjoyed watching him play—he's fantastic, what he's achieved is incredible. Coaching him one day? His contract runs until 2028, mine until 2027... it doesn’t depend on me," the German replied.
