From FC Barcelona it has not yet been confirmed whether there will be a presentation of the new coach or the date on which this could take place.
Hansi Flick will be the new coach of FC Barcelona for the next two seasons and according to several media outlets such as the newspaper ACEhis salary will be around 3 million euros per year, an amount less than what Xavi Hernández received.
The coach lands at the Barça club with two assistants. In the coming days, the German will meet with Joan Laporta and Deco to plan the signings and losses of the squad for next season, and also the preseason.
Flick has a complicated challenge ahead of him, regenerating the team and configuring a competitive squad that is capable of fighting for titles next season, and all this taking into account the delicate economic situation that the Barça club is going through and that will not allow them to go to the market with freedom of movement.
Throughout his career on the bench, Hansi Flick has won a total of 7 titles, all of them with Bayern Munich between 2020 and 2021, in addition to winning individual awards such as Coach of the Year in the Bundesliga, Coach of the Year in Germany or UEFA Best Coach in Europe, all of them in 2020.
