Hansi Flick, the new coach of Barça
FC Barcelona has announced that Hansi Flick will be the team’s new coach for next season. After getting rid of Xavi Hernández, the club has opted for a coach with more experience and the ability to lead a change in the squad. Flick, a German national, has been selected for his successful career in football and his ability to develop a quality game.
During his stay in Barcelona, Flick has held meetings with the club’s sports management and visited the facilities of the Joan Gamper Sports City. Furthermore, he has had the opportunity to witness the training of the subsidiary team, Barça Atlètic. Aiming to immerse himself in the culture and spirit of the club, Flick seeks to understand what it takes to make Barça an even better team.
Flick’s approach to the new season
One of the main challenges that Flick faces is making strategic signings and renewing the team’s roster. The objective is to change the face of Barça and provide it with new arguments to reach a higher quality level of play. The German coach plans to focus on aspects such as pressure, scoring efficiency and the club’s characteristic playing style. His goal is to plan the new season with the intention of achieving a significant improvement in the team’s performance.
Flick’s presence at the Euro Cup
After his time at Barcelona, Flick has returned to Germany to focus on the Euros. During the tournament, the coach is expected to keep a close eye on several players from the Spanish national team, some of whom could be potential Barça prospects. Among the players Flick will be keeping an eye on are Nico Williams, Mikel Merino and Ayoze Perez, who have all been linked with the Catalans.
Nico Williams is considered an undisputed starter in the Spanish team, while Mikel Merino, Real Sociedad midfielder, could be a great alternative to strengthen the team. Ayoze Pérez, Betis forward, is not a priority, but could be considered if necessary.
