Barcelona have appointed former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick as their new boss on a two-year contract
Flick, was who sacked by Germany in September 2023, takes over from Xavi, who was sacked last week.
Flick’s stint with Germany came after he guided Bayern Munich to a treble in 2020, winning the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League.
Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski, 35, played under Flick at the Allianz Arena for two seasons.
“It’s a big honour, a dream for me to sign my contract here,” said Flick on Wednesday.
“We won some titles with Bayern Munich and my hunger is really big for titles.
“I would like to stay on this path with Barcelona and I think we can achieve a lot together and this is an important thing.
“The philosophy they have is similar to mine, lots of possession and really attacking football and these other things I love.”
Departing Barcelona boss Xavi, who was sacked a month after the club confirmed he would stay, said his successor will “suffer” in the role.
He guided Barcelona to La Liga and Spanish Super Cup glory in his first full season in charge but this season the Catalan giants finished 10 points short of La Liga champions Real Madrid.
Flick has been out of work since he was sacked by Germany eight months ago.
