FC Barcelona: Hansi Flick brings in a new specialist!

Hansi Flick is taking his obsession with detail at FC Barcelona to the next level. According to Mundo Deportivo, the German manager, true to his meticulous approach since arriving in the summer of 2024, continues to build out his backroom staff by bringing in a sleep specialist to optimize player recovery and overall performance.

With an ever more congested fixture list, Barça is determined to minimize the toll of travel, stress, and physical fatigue. This new expert will be especially involved during away trips and following matches, aiming to enhance the players’ rest quality—a key factor at the elite level.

His role will also include providing "sleep hygiene" recommendations, such as reducing screen time before bed and avoiding late caffeine intake. The initiative is designed to prevent scenarios like last season, when Barcelona were deprived of several key players at decisive moments.
