Hansi Flick pens contract extension with FC Barcelona until 2027

• BARCELONA — FC Barcelona have officially extended head coach Hansi Flick’s contract until June 30, 2027, after a stellar debut season that saw the German tactician guide the club to a domestic treble and restore its reputation as a European powerhouse.
•  
  
• The new deal was signed on Wednesday at the Club’s offices in the presence of club president Joan Laporta, vice president Rafa Yuste, and sporting director Deco.
•  
  
• Flick’s impact in just one season has been transformational. Under his leadership, a young and energetic squad clinched La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, marking one of the most successful debut campaigns by a coach in the club’s history.

• “It’s been a magical journey so far,” said club president Joan Laporta. “Hansi has brought belief, intensity, and a winning mentality that has re-energised the club. This renewal is a vote of confidence in his project and in our young team.”
•  
  
• Since his first match in charge on August 18 against Valencia — a dramatic comeback victory — Flick's team has shown a trademark resilience. Barcelona have come from behind to win nine matches this season, earning praise for both their fighting spirit and tactical maturity.
•  
  
• Flick’s record speaks for itself: 43 wins in 54 matches, a win rate of 73%, the best for a debut Barça coach since Luis Enrique’s 83%. His ability to inspire the team in crucial moments has been evident, particularly in finals. In his debut season, Flick has maintained a perfect record in finals — seven wins from seven — including victories over arch-rivals Real Madrid in both the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.
•  
  
• Though Barcelona narrowly missed out on Champions League glory, Flick’s domestic success places him among elite company. Only four other managers — Louis van Gaal, Pep Guardiola, Ernesto Valverde, and Luis Enrique — have achieved a league and cup double in their first season at the club.
•  
  
• “Hansi Flick is building something historic here,” said Deco. “His vision, coupled with our belief in the next generation, gives us every reason to look forward with optimism.”
