"I truly have been thinking about this a lot, because nailing the appointment of Hansi Flick's replacement is crucial to continue the momentum that his arrival has created. Flick has transformed the entire atmosphere around the club with his personality and the team's style of play, and the next coach after him needs to keep up the good vibes within the squad and find a way to retain the best qualities of Flick's system while also building upon some of its weaknesses."
"As we learned with Xavi, the idea of a young prospect with ties to the club sounds appealing, but the coach's inexperience instantly becomes a problem when they have to deal with the immense pressure of the job. Thiago and Cesc sound like fun options, but Flick's positive and negative experiences at the highest level in club and international football are part of what made him so perfect for the job."
Choosing Hansi Flick's successor is crucial to preserve the momentum and atmosphere he created. Flick transformed the club's environment through personality and a proactive playing style. The next coach must maintain the squad's positive vibes, retain core strengths of Flick's system, and address its weaknesses. In-house choices like Thiago or Cesc are attractive for club ties but risk inexperience under immense pressure. Proven experience at the highest club and international levels matters, making candidates with established managerial records potentially more suitable. Other names mentioned include Nagelsmann, Arteta, Andoni Iraola and Fàbregas.
