Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed on Tuesday that he has signed a new two-year contract with the club, with an option for a third season.
The 61-year-old German secured a second consecutive La Liga title with the Catalan club on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over arch-rival Real Madrid.
«I’m obviously very happy; it gives me the confidence to continue working for another year or two,» Flick said at the press conference ahead of Wednesday’s competition visit to Alaves.
«I think many coaches would love to sign a contract for three, four or five years, but in this case I think at Barcelona it is good to keep it limited, and I appreciate that. We will continue until 2028. If everything goes well, we will decide to continue. I have the right to stop, and so does the club,» he added.

Flick joined Barcelona in the summer of 2024 and won two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups in two seasons at the club.
However, the Champions League, which Flick won with former club Bayern Munich in 2020, has eluded him since his arrival in Catalonia.
Barcelona were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Atletico Madrid this season, after losing 7-6 to Inter Milan in the last four last year.
“It is also a commitment on our part to work even harder than we have this season, if that is possible, and to continue to reach the highest possible level with the team, achieve new goals and win new titles,” said Flick.
«This is important for Barcelona because everyone dreams of winning the Champions League. We tried, we will try again, and that’s all I can say,» he added.
