Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has agreed to extend his stay at the club, with a new contract deal set to run until 2028 and include the option of a further year.
The agreement marks a significant step for Barcelona as they look to build long-term stability under the German coach, who has overseen a strong period since his arrival in 2024.
New deal reflects club confidence
Flick’s current contract runs until 2027, but Barcelona have moved quickly to secure his future beyond that, reflecting their confidence in his leadership.
Reports indicate that the new agreement will extend his deal by an additional year, keeping him at the club until 2028, with an option to remain until 2029 if both parties agree.
The decision comes after positive talks between Flick and the club’s hierarchy, with president Joan Laporta a long-time admirer of the coach and keen to maintain continuity on the bench.

Success driving the renewal
Flick’s impact at Barcelona has been clear. Since taking charge, he has delivered domestic success and restored a sense of identity to the team with the 2024/25 La Liga title, a 2024/25 Copa del Rey, and back-to-back Supercopa de España titles (2025, 2026).
Barcelona are currently on course for further silverware, with their strong league form playing a key role in accelerating discussions over a new contract.
The club view Flick as central to their long-term project, particularly as they prepare for another summer of squad changes and development.

He has spoken openly about his desire to renew, stating his intention to remain and continue building towards major honours, including success in Europe.
This commitment has helped smooth negotiations, with both sides aligned on the direction of the project.
