"I think a lot of coaches would only be happy to sign on a three or four-year deal. But in the case of Barca, it is better to limit it. We will continue until 2028 and, if all goes well, we will make the decision to continue for another year. It is also a commitment on our part. Next season will be even more demanding, because we want to reach new goals and win more titles."
"Everyone dreams of the Champions League and we will try again. I feel very grateful. After visiting Alaves, Barca host Real Betis and go to Valencia in their final two games. After that, Flick's attention will turn to the transfer window."
"We are clear about what positions both I and the board of directors need to strengthen. We've been talking about it a lot these last weeks and months, but it's still a job we haven't finished doing."
"Barca's title triumph came on the same day that Flick's father passed away, with the Blaugrana coach still taking his place on the touchline and appearing visibly emotional during the post-match celebrations. And the events of recent days have only deepened his attachment to the club, as he said:"
Hansi Flick confirmed an agreement to renew his contract with Barcelona until 2028. He has guided the club to consecutive LaLiga titles, including a win over Real Madrid that left Barcelona with a 14-point lead at the top with three matches remaining. Flick is among the few coaches to win LaLiga in each of his first two seasons with Barcelona in this century. His prior deal was set to expire after 2026-27, but he confirmed he will stay for an additional year. He said the shorter commitment is better for Barcelona and that next season will be more demanding, with new goals and more titles, including a renewed Champions League attempt. He also indicated the club and board are still working on transfer priorities.
