FC Barcelona has experienced a first part of 2024 with many twists and turns, especially in terms of the 'owner' of the culé bench, even having Hansi Flick as coach of the first team, at least for a few hours
A lot of fans of the FC Barcelona are ilusionados with the possibility to see to Hansi Flick in the bench of the team from the next 1 July. Although a lot of culés value and respect the work of Xavi Hernández, and especially what means for the club, also understand that the German can contribute something more to the project, something that also seems to believe Joan Laporta.
But it is that the Barcelona president besides believes in the Teutonic from does a lot, so much that it had him practically confirmed like the technician of the team does a pair of years. During the electoral campaign of 2021, Laporta had to Flick like his favourite technician, although for the decisive moment, the trainer already had engaged already with the German Federation to be seleccionador after leaving the bench of the Bayern of Munich.
There was a moment in which Flick already was ensured
It is thus that when Xavi announced that it would leave the Barcelona bench on 30 June, Laporta went back to think in Flick, represented by his good fellow Pini Zahavi and without team since it abandoned the German selection in September of the 2023. There were several contacts, and in fact, 'Sport' ensures that Hansi Flick was trainer of the Barça "during some hours".
The information signals that the past 24 April, the day in which the majority of directors went out of a meeting of board convinced that Xavi did not go to be followed in the charge, and that hours afterwards knew that the president Laporta had decided the continuity of the Catalan, had to the ex míster of the Bayern like the safe alternative. Finally Xavi and Laporta arrived to an agreement of continuity, something that seemed almost impossible by those days.
The moment finally will arrive for the German
In this moment, Flick was informed by his representative that it went to be the trainer of the Barça the season 2024-25. The German technician like this did it to him know to a player of the Barcelona staff, but went the own footballer the one who informed to Flick that the club had announced the continuity of Xavi, something that certainly left a feeling of confusion in the trainer, although all seems to indicate that finally it will have his revancha after the announcement of dismissal of the egarense.
