At his prematch press conference on Tuesady, Hansi Flick revealed<\/a> that he wishes to stay at FC Barcelona.<\/p>\n Though an expected contract extension for mid-2028 expiry is yet to be signed, Flick \u201cwants the Champions League and to stay until the stadium is finished\u201d.<\/p>\n In its current state, the Spotify Camp Nou holds 62,000 punters and will be completed in 2027 according to Mundo Deportivo<\/a>.<\/p>\n As we also know, Flick has fallen short in Europe twice now. First in the semifinals to Inter Milan last term, and then as recent as a week ago in the quarterfinals, where Atletico Madrid administered a painful aggregate defeat in the Metropolitano despite the Blagurana winning 2-1 on the night.<\/p>\n Flick is the best man for the FC Barcelona job<\/p>\n Yet despite his continental shortcomings, Flick remains the right man for the job.<\/p>\n Previously, from 2019 to 2023, the Catalans went four years without winning La Liga until Xavi Hernandez<\/a> put that right.<\/p>\n The 2023\/2024 season was trophyless and spelled the end for Xavi alongside publicly claiming that the Blaugrana couldn\u2019t compete with Real Madrid financially.<\/p>\n With pretty much the same squad, however, Flick swept a domestic treble in his first term. In 2025\/2026, we won\u2019t see that happen again. Yet with a nine-point advantage, it\u2019s highly likely that the Spanish top flight crown remains in Catalonia for the second year running while joining another Super Cup in the cabinet.<\/p>\n Not that Xavi didn\u2019t having come through it himself. And likewise he deserves praise for promoting the likes of Lamine Yamal<\/a>, Pau Cubarsi<\/a> and Fermin Lopez.<\/p>\n Yet despite being an outsider, Flick understands La Masia and is a heavy promoter of youth talent.<\/p>\n The kind of Cruyffista that President Joan Laporta loves, his style – though some find the defensive high line too risky – fits the club\u2019s philosophy.<\/p>\n It\u2019s always better to win 5-4 than 1-0, as Cruyff himself once said.<\/p>\n Flick wants FC Barcelona to be his last club<\/p>\n At the press conference that previewed Wednesday\u2019s La Liga clash with Celta Vigo, Flick once again reiterated that \u201cthis is going to be my last step in my career\u201d.<\/p>\n He wishes Barca to be his final club, and aged 61, a couple more years in the Spotify Camp Nou hotseat might be the end of a storied career.<\/p>\n Having already tried international management with Germany, Catalonia could be the end of the road for Flick meaning Culers have to enjoy the ride while it lasts.<\/p>\n Hopefully at least one of those guaranteed two additional seasons – providing everything goes well – deliver long-awaited European glory for FC Barcelona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick wants to stay at the club and remains the best man for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,330,5535,930,5537,5536],"class_list":["post-9071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-camp-nou","tag-flick-wants-to-renew-at-fc-barcelona","tag-hansi-flick","tag-spotify","tag-xavi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
