Hansi Flick is one step away from being officially named as the future coach of FC Barcelona taking over from Xavi Hernández, who will leave his position in principle after this weekend’s match against Sevilla FC. The former Bayern coach of Munich of the last treble and former German coach has already received an enthusiastic endorsement to take charge of the Barça team from one of the icons of German football and the Bavarian club, former Ballon d’Or winner Lotthar Matthäus. In statements collected by Bildwho was a legendary world champion midfielder in 1990 with Germany, stated that “Hansi’s style suits Barcelona” and went even further by pointing out that “with Pep Guardiola, Barcelona was spectacle and great football and with Hansi they can recover that Magic”.

The record player in appearances with the German team, with 63 goals in 150 games, described that this “style that suits Barcelona” has a great objective: “He wants his teams to act in an offensive and attractive way.”
In his argument, Matthäus stressed that in the current Barça squad there will be enough talent, both veteran and young, to make a good team. “With Ter Stegen, Ilkay Gündogan Robert Lewandowski immediately has three references, which is important,” he emphasized, recalling that when Flick was coach “he named Gündogan captain, which speaks of their special relationship.”
Regarding the promises, Matthäus highlighted the hand that Flick has to give flight to starting players. “There are also many gems in the club that Hansi, known as a talent promoter, will perfect,” he predicted.

Furthermore, he warned that even in precarious times, Barça knows how to go to the market. “Barcelona has very talented players and, despite the difficult economic situation, they always find a way to make transfers,” he said.
Personally, as a former Bayern teammate in the 1980s, Matthäus was happy for Flick. “I’m very happy for Hansi,” he said, also revealing that he “had been in contact with Barcelona for a long time and the club had extended a hand to him.” “Hansi was patient and now he can go to an absolute world club,” he concluded.
