While his name had been mentioned as a potential replacement for Xavi, Hansi Flick will ultimately not join FC Barcelona.
Hansi Flick will not be the future coach of FC Barcelona. Contacts have been established between the two parties, but nothing serious. The meeting in London, mentioned by the Catalan media, would only be a pure invention. This is what Spanish journalist Guillem Balague assures.
Sources close to the German coach believe that there is no chance that the deal will go through for the simple reason that they are convinced that Xavi will remain in his position as coach. The latter was confirmed in his functions a few weeks ago and the recent turbulence at Camp Nou should not change anything in his personal fate.
Flick closer to Bayern
Flick has been free since being sacked as Germany coach last fall. His former club Bayern is also considering him to succeed Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel who, for his part, would also be one of the coaches who could arrive at Camp Nou if the Blaugrana were to finally dismiss Xavi.
