"At a time when arch-rival Real Madrid are going through a tough period with regard to their coaching appointments and overall instability, Barcelona have enjoyed relative peace. That is because Hansi Flick is widely accepted and loved as a Barcelona manager, with no real fans or board members wanting him to leave anytime soon. The German still has a contract until 2027 and although extending beyond is a possibility, Flick wants to take things step by step."
"According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona have identified two key individuals as a potential replacement for Hansi Flick. The first name on the list is Luis Enrique, who enjoys great support and love from Barcelona fans. Having been a former coach of Barça, he knows the club inside and out as well. Enrique recently led PSG to their first-ever Champions League title and a treble."
"Another option is Mikel Arteta. He is one of the most fashionable and marketable managers in world football and has built a strong foundation at Arsenal, to the point where the Gunners have become the main contenders to win the league. Given Arteta's Barcelona past, a move to Camp Nou cannot be ruled out for the Spaniard, who has been at Arsenal since 2019 and may fancy a change of scenery."
Real Madrid face instability around coaching appointments while Barcelona benefit from relative calm under Hansi Flick, who remains widely accepted and contracted until 2027 but prefers a step-by-step approach. Barcelona are proactively scouting replacements to ensure options if Flick departs. Luis Enrique is a leading candidate due to strong fan support, his past tenure at Barça, and recent success with PSG, including a Champions League title and treble. Mikel Arteta is another option, praised for his marketability and Arsenal-building work; a Premier League title could further increase his appeal to top clubs, including Barcelona.
