New coach is here!
Barcelona feed Hansi Flick with a “mini-salary”
Hansi Flick is the new coach of FC Barcelona - the Catalans announced this on Wednesday afternoon. A Spanish newspaper had already revealed that the German's salary is significantly lower than that of his predecessor Xavi.
According to "As", Flick receives "only" three million euros net per year from the Catalans. According to the report, club legend Xavi earned twice as much at six million euros.
Nevertheless, the built-in bonuses for the Champions League triumph (one million euros) and the Spanish league title (750,000 euros) are significantly higher than those of his predecessor (300,000 and 150,000 euros).
Flick, for whom this is his first head coach position outside of Germany, signed a contract until 2026. There was speculation about the coaching appointment for days, but FC Barcelona have now officially announced the signing of Flick. "We have signed a coach who is known for his high pressing and courageous style of play. He has won pretty much everything there is to win in the world of soccer," the club explained in a press release.
Triple with Bayern, embarrassment with the DFB team
The 59-year-old Flick won the treble of championship, cup and Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2020, but had to leave a year later after friction with the then sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. He led the German national team to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they were disgracefully eliminated in the preliminary round. Less than a year later, he was fired by the German FA and replaced by Julian Nagelsmann.
