Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has officially confirmed he will sign a new contract, committing to the Catalan giants for at least two more seasons. The German tactician is currently basking in the glow of securing a second consecutive La Liga title, a remarkable achievement that has solidified his legacy at the club.
Rumors of an extension have been swirling for some time, with Flick's previous deal set to run until 2027. Over the past week, his agent Pini Zahavi has been in Barcelona finalizing the details. According to reports from MD, an agreement is now in place to extend Flick's contract until 2028, with an option for an additional season. Interim President Rafa Yuste also hinted at the announcement on Monday night, confirming that the official news would be released soon.
Ahead of Barcelona's away match against Alaves on Wednesday, Flick addressed the media with a mix of gratitude and determination. "It's good for my team, good for us to have the confidence to work for a couple more years," he said. "I'm sorry I've had different things on my mind recently. Many coaches would be happy with a three, four, or five-year deal. But for Barcelona, having a limit works well. We'll go until 2028, and then we have the option for another year. We'll see if everything is right—I have the option, and the club does too. The club has shown me in recent days that we are in the right place, with the right support and the right people."
Flick also made it clear that the work is far from over. "It's a challenge to work even harder over the next two years, harder than this season, to chase the big dream that everyone shares: the Champions League."
Under Flick's leadership, Barcelona have been dominant domestically, winning five of the six available titles over the past two seasons. The only blemish came in the Copa del Rey, where they fell to Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. But the scent of European glory is unmistakable in this squad. As they celebrated their latest league triumph, the focus was already shifting to next season's Champions League campaign—a trophy that would complete Flick's Barcelona masterpiece.
