Vamos! Barca coup for Hansi Flick draws ever closer

"Vamos Flick!" This could be the headline in the Spanish newspapers over the next few weeks. Because the former Bayern coach and former national team coach Hansi Flick is the top favorite to take over as coach at FC Barcelona in the summer. The coup is getting closer and closer.

According to Sky, there have been good talks between Flick's star advisor Pini Zahavi and Barca boss Joan Laporta in recent days.

Spanish lessons
Flick can well imagine himself as a coach at the Catalan club. He would take over from Xavi, who is leaving in the summer. The German is also said to be busy taking Spanish lessons and learning the language.

Old acquaintances
In Barcelona, the 59-year-old would meet up with old acquaintances. Flick knows Ilkay Gündogan and Marc-André ter Stegen from his time with the DFB team. He has a strong internal advocate in former Bayern goalscorer Robert Lewandowski.
