Barcelona’s Deco Confident in Hansi Flick Appointment Ahead of Key Week

Barcelona sporting director Deco shared his confidence in coach Hansi Flick. He talked about the club’s optimism and belief in the team’s progress under Flick’s leadership as they prepare for an important week in their season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Deco explained why Barcelona chose Flick, saying, “When we trusted Hansi Flick, we had to be optimistic about the season. We knew well that with a coach who improves performance and makes internal changes, the team would progress for the better.” He made these comments before Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan. Deco noted that reaching this stage for the first time in 10 years is an important moment, with the team’s recent performances supporting the club’s faith in Flick’s methods.

BARCELONA’S SEASON UNDER FLICK

This season has seen Barcelona become a strong team, with Flick making tactical changes and focusing on player growth. The team is currently aiming for a historic treble, having made it to the Champions League semi-finals and being well-placed in La Liga. Flick’s approach—emphasizing accessibility and detail, inspired by his former coach Udo Lattek—is credited with boosting morale and consistency in the squad. Key players have performed well, and the squad’s depth has allowed them to compete on multiple fronts as they chase European and domestic success.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BARCELONA?

Barcelona now face a key week in their season. Their next match is the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, a game that could decide their European ambitions. In La Liga, Barcelona stay close to the top of the table and are still in contention for trophies, just a few points behind Real Madrid and with rivals such as Girona right below them. The club’s aim is to turn Flick’s progress and Deco’s optimism into trophies as the season reaches its end.
