Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has dropped a bombshell regarding his future as a coach. He recently confirmed that Barca will be the final club of his coaching career, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he does not intend to coach elsewhere once his time at Camp Nou eventually comes to an end, and he intends to stand by that decision.
Flick added that despite mounting speculation over a potential contract extension, the time is just not right to talk about a potential contract extension.
His words, “I think it that is clear that I like working here, but I also value my independence. I have a great family and much support. This is football, and I try to give the best to the team… but we will see. There is time. I don’t think about going somewhere else. It will be my last job and that makes me happy.
I think it is not the moment to talk about my renewal now. There is an important match for the club and for our future. I am very happy here, but I must talk with my family. There is time to talk about all this.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
