Barcelona sporting director Deco has revealed that renewing the contract of coach Hansi Flick is not a priority for the moment.
The 59-year-old took charge of the Blaugrana in late May last year and has enjoyed an impressive run of 26 wins, four draws and six losses, helping them reach the Champions League knockout stages, the Copa del Rey semi-finals and sit third in La Liga, just two points behind leaders Real Madrid.
With his contract only running เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง until 2026. The club are reportedly prepared to offer him a new deal, but Deco has insisted that it is not something that needs to be rushed.
“The coach is always important and important. We knew what we were looking for in Flick and that’s what happened. He’s a coach who manages the players and the dressing room very well,” Deco told Sport. “We had a group of young players, some experienced players and some middle-aged players. There was an imbalance, it was difficult to manage and he did very well.”
“After Xavi left and a difficult season, I think we need an experienced, proven coach who can manage a dressing room. The team is a big family but it’s difficult to manage because of the imbalance, as I said, with a 35-year-old player and 17-year-old Yamal – the coach has to bring these things together and they work together and Flick does it very well.”
“We are moving too fast in everything here. We went from feeling good to feeling hopeless in a moment. Everything is going well and other coaches have been through this. This is the natural sequence of a successful project. We won the trophy. It’s a good feeling.”
“The most important thing is that the board wants it. We are very happy with the work that is being done and if everything continues like this, we will work to make it continue for many years. From this point on, the time will come, but right now it is not important for us or for him.”
