Barcelona to Announce Hansi Flick’s Contract Extension Until 2027

Barcelona are about to announce a new contract for head coach Hansi Flick. This will keep him at the club until June 2027 after a successful season with major trophies.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Club vice president Rafa Yuste confirmed that Barcelona expect to announce Hansi Flick‘s new deal next week. The agreement adds one more year to Flick’s stay, as his previous contract was ending in 2026.

This decision comes after a strong campaign. Barcelona have already won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey and are about to win the La Liga title. Reports say the deal is done and just waiting for an official statement, expected after the team’s last matches of the season.

BARCELONA’S SEASON UNDER FLICK

This season, Barcelona have performanced well. Flick’s leadership brought the club close to a domestic treble. The team reached the Champions League semifinals and leads La Liga with two matches left.

They recently won against rivals Real Madrid in El Clásico, securing their lead in the league. If Barcelona win the upcoming Catalan derby against Espanyol, they would win the league title with two games remaining. This would give opportunities for young players in the final matches.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

With Flick’s contract extension near, Barcelona want to keep stability and build on their success. The match against Espanyol is important, as a win will confirm their league win. Barcelona currently have a big lead, easing pressure from second-placed Real Madrid.

The off-season will likely focus on squad planning, including decisions on key players like goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. Flick will continue to shape his team for next season’s challenges in domestic and European competitions.
