Hansi Flick Signs New Deal to Remain Barcelona Coach Until 2027

FC Barcelona have confirmed their head coach Hansi Flick has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until June 2027. The German manager has been rewarded for an exceptional debut season, guiding the Catalan side to LaLiga title and an historic domestic treble.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hansi Flick, who joined Barcelona last summer, has officially renewed his contract, extending his stay by another year after originally signing through 2026. The agreement was signed at the club offices alongside club president Juan Laporta and key board members.

Flick’s first season could not have started better: Barça have won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. Flick also steered Barcelona to the semifinals of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League, their first appearance at that stage since 2019, before a narrow extra-time exit to Inter. The statistics highlight his success, with 43 wins, seven draws, and nine losses as Flick approaches his 60th game in charge this weekend against Athletic Club in round 50 of the LaLiga.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Flick’s arrival has transformed Barcelona, who finished the previous year without any trophies. Under him, his team has adopted a more attacking style, with key players such as Lewandowski, Raphinha, and rising star Lamine Yamal showing consistent form.

The defense has also been much stronger, with solid performances from Cubarsí, Íñigo Martínez, Koundé, and Balde. Barcelona’s dominance domestically has put rivals like Real Madrid under pressure, with Los Blancos finishing second in LaLiga. This resurgence has renewed hope among their supporters that the club is back as the top force in Spain and Europe.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Barça close out their league campaign this Sunday away at Athletic Club, who are seventh in LaLiga and pushing for European spots. Barca, as newly crowned champions, are seven points clear at the top, with Madrid in second.

With no involvement in the upcoming Club World Cup, Flick and his players will get a longer summer break to prepare for the next campaign. The club’s challenge will be to build on this season’s momentum, strengthen the squad further, and pursue even greater European success next season under Flick’s extended leadership.
