Barcelona have appointed former German national team and Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick as head coach on a two-year contract.
Flick, who has not managed a club since being sacked by Germany in September 2023, will be tasked with reviving Barcelona’s fortunes after the Catalan side failed to win any trophies this season under Xavi Hernandez, who was dismissed on Friday.
The 59-year-old previously spent two years at Bayern Munich, winning the Champions League and back-to-back German league titles.
Xavi, a midfield great as a player at Barcelona, left after the team finished a distant second to Real Madrid in the Spanish league this season.
