Xavi Hernandez is set to manage his final game as Barcelona’s head coach on Sunday, with the team traveling to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan to face Sevilla in the last match of the 2023-24 La Liga season. After this match, Barcelona is set to embark on a new era under new leadership.
Following the game against Sevilla, Xavi will officially be relieved of his duties. According to Mundo Deportivo (MD), Hansi Flick is expected to be announced as Xavi’s successor as early as Monday. Flick, 59, will reportedly sign a two-year contract with the club.
The timing and manner of Flick’s official introduction by Barcelona president Joan Laporta remain uncertain. It could be a closed interview with the club’s media channels or a traditional press conference.
Flick’s anticipated arrival has generated significant interest among Barcelona supporters. He faces the significant challenge of closing the gap between Barcelona and their rivals, Real Madrid, a task he is expected to approach with enthusiasm.
Hansi Flick’s managerial credentials are well-regarded, having achieved notable success with Bayern Munich, where he won six trophies in a single season, including the UEFA Champions League.
However, his more recent stint as head coach of the German national team was less successful, culminating in a disappointing early exit from the World Cup and underwhelming performances leading up to Euro 2024.
Barcelona fans are eager to see how Flick’s experience and tactical acumen will translate to La Liga. His potential to revitalize Barcelona and restore their dominance in Spanish and European football is a major point of interest.
The club’s decision to bring in Flick signals a clear intent to restructure and strengthen the team in pursuit of consistent success.
