Barcelona appoint Hansi Flick as new manager after Xavi’s exit

Barcelona on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of former German national team and Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick as head coach on a two-year contract, the LaLiga club said on Wednesday.

Hansi Flick, who has been out of management since being sacked by Germany in September 2023, has been appointed as the new head coach of Barcelona. Flick faces the challenge of reviving the Catalan giants’ fortunes following a disappointing season under Xavi Hernandez, who was dismissed on Friday after the club failed to secure any trophies.
