Barcelona: Barcelona appointed Hansi Flick as coach on Wednesday on a deal until June 30, 2026, after sacking Xavi Hernandez last week.
"FC Barcelona and Hansi Flick have reached an agreement for the German to become men's first team football coach until 30 June 2026," said the club in a statement.
"The new coach has signed a contract at the Club's offices accompanied by FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta."
Flick, who led German giants Bayern Munich to a historic sextuple in 2020, became the first coach ever to be sacked by the German national team in September 2023 after a string of bad results.
The 59-year-old occasionally watched Barcelona matches this season from the presidential box and was linked with the job after Xavi said in January he would depart at the end of the campaign.
