Barcelona Presents New Coach “Hansi Flick

FC Barcelona presented their new coach, German Hansi Flick at the Camp Nou stadium.

President Joan Laporta handed a team’s red and blue jersey to the 59 year-old former Bayern Munich coach during the presentation to the media.

Flick said he was in Barcelona “to win titles”.

“The thing that I want to see and also my staff wants to see is that we are playing a great football, a technical football and everyone on the stadium or at home in front of a television, they can see, ok, this team really gives a heart for this club.”

He joined the club after previous coach Xavi was sacked at the end of the 2023-2024 season, which the Catalan powerhouse ended without winning a title.

We can now officially say, willkommen to new Barça coach Hansi Flick. After already having started work with the squad out on the training pitch, Flick was officially presented as the FC Barcelona boss. Accompanied by the FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta and a large backdrop bearing the slogan 'Welcome', the German was the focus of attention in front of more than 100 journalists from 74 different media outlets at the Auditori 1899. 

The presentation began with FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta praising the figure of the new coach Hansi Flick: "He is the ideal person to be in charge of the football first team due to his love of hard work, discipline and his confidence in the Club's philosophy.

He is the right person to take us forward and face up to the most immediate challenges. He will do so with conviction, determination and new found energy." Laporta also thanked former coach Xavi Hernández for his work at Barça.

After urging work, work and more work all over the pitch, Flick posed smiling alongside Joan Laporta, Rafa Yuste and Deco with the new Barça jersey and his new Barça member's card at the end of his presentation as the new blaugrana coach.
