Spanish club Barcelona, headed by Joan Laporta, announced the appointment of German Hansi Flick as technical director of the Catalan team until 2026, succeeding the sacked Xavi Hernandez.
According to reports in the Spanish newspaper, Barcelona president Laporta asked Flick to eliminate Real Madrid’s control during the next season after Real Madrid’s dominance of all titles. Moreover, the Madrid team signed Mbappe.
The newspaper “Sport” indicated that Flick, Barcelona’s new coach, assured the president of the Catalan club that eliminating the dominance of the royal team would not be an easy task at all.
The newspaper added that Flick believes that the team needs a lot of work as well as special deals in order to compete with Real Madrid at the local and European levels, given the high quality enjoyed by Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
The journalist continued that Flick presented to Laporta the names of three players who would be necessary to sign if Barcelona wanted to break the dominance of Real Madrid. At the forefront of these three are the Bayern Munich duo, Joshua Kimmich, and the French player, Kingsley Coman, to add various individual solutions to the team.
The newspaper concluded that the third player that Flick wants to sign is the skilled Spanish star of Athletic Bilbao, Nico Williams, a player who Flick believes is capable of adding great attacking power to the Barcelona team.
