Tuesday, May 12, 2026 - Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick has confirmed that he has signed a new two-year contract with the club, with an option for a third season.
The 61-year-old German manager secured a second consecutive
LaLiga title with the Catalan club on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over
arch-rivals Real Madrid.
"Obviously, I'm very happy; it gives me the confidence
to keep working for another year or two," Flick said at the press
conference ahead of Wednesday's league visit to Alaves.
"I think many coaches would be very happy to sign a
three, four or five-year contract, but in this case, with Barca, I think it's
good to keep it limited, and I appreciate that.
"We'll continue until 2028. If all goes well, we'll
decide to carry on. I have the right to stop, and so does the club."
Flick joined Barcelona in the summer of 2024 and, in two
seasons at the club, has won two LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey, and two
Spanish Super Cups.
Flick added that his first goal after securing the contract
extension was to take Barcelona beyond the century mark of points in the league
this season.
“Our goal is to reach 100 points, and to do so we have to
win all three matches,” he said. “We have celebrated the title a lot, but now
we can play well.”
Barcelona were edged out by Atletico Madrid in the
quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, after last year going down
7-6 on aggregate to Inter Milan in the last four.
“(For next season,) It is a commitment on our part to reach
the highest level and win new titles,” Flick said.
“Everyone dreams of the Champions League. We have tried, and
we will keep trying. I am grateful for the trust to continue.”
