Barcelona reward Flick with contract extension after LaLiga triumph

Flick

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has extended his contract through to June 2028, with an option for a further season, after he guided them to a 29th LaLiga title, the club said on Monday.

The 61-year-old's previous deal had been set to expire in June 2027.

Barca clinched the title with three games to spare, sealing it with a win over arch-rivals Real Madrid on May 10.

A treble-winning coach with Bayern Munich, Flick joined Barca in 2024 on a two-year contract, arriving determined to rebuild his reputation after being sacked by Germany in September 2023.

Under his leadership, Barca quickly reasserted their domestic dominance, winning back-to-back LaLiga titles along with the 2024-25 Copa del Rey and successive Spanish Super Cups.

However, after a quarter-final exit to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, they will be looking to mount a stronger challenge in Europe's top club competition next season.
