Just in - Date set for Hansi Flick to sign new Barcelona contract | Barca Universal

"Unless there is a last-minute setback, the German coach will sign a new deal next Monday, that will keep him at the club until 2028, with the option of extending it by one more year. The signing ceremony is expected to take place at the club offices alongside president Joan Laporta and the rest of the Barça board."

"Talks over a new deal for Flick had been ongoing for quite some time now, and all parties were clear about wanting to continue their successful partnership. However, the German tactician had always made it clear that he did not want to distract the squad or become the centre of attention while the team were still fighting for trophies."

"That is why he preferred to wait until the La Liga title was mathematically secured before finalising his renewal. Now that the championship is officially in the Blaugrana's hands, the time has come to put pen to paper. As such, the plan now is for Flick to sign the contract on Monday, around midday, a day after the game against Real Betis at the Spotify Camp Nou."

"Within Barcelona, there is total satisfaction with Flick's work since taking over as manager from Xavi Hernandez in the summer of 2024. Beyond the defeat against Deportivo Alaves last night, which had no impact on the title race, Barça's board strongly believe the German coach has transformed the team since arriving. Under his tenure, the Barcelona dressing room has regained stability, the squad is once again competing at the highest level, and the atmosphere around the club has noticeably improved."
