Hansi Flick is being considered by FC Barcelona as a potential replacement for Xavi Hernández next summer, after the current coach leaves the club on June 30. The former German coach and ex-Bayern Munich coach is at the top of the list of candidates being looked at by the Barça management. Other options being explored include Roberto de Zerbi (Brighton) and more challenging choices like Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) and Luis Enrique (PSG). Pini Zahavi, Flick‘s agent, was recently in Barcelona during the Barça-Getafe match. Some critics argue that Hansi Flick may not be the best fit for FC Barcelona because he doesn’t have experience with young players from La Masia, which is crucial for the club, especially during tough economic times. However, Flick‘s track record at Bayern Munich proves otherwise. He gave Jamal Musiala his debut at Bayern, with the forward making his first appearance for the team at just 17 years old. During Flick‘s final season at Bayern, Musiala played in 26 Bundesliga games, totaling 870 minutes on the field.In addition to Musiala, Bayern’s undisputed forward and a regular for the German team, Flick also promoted Alphonso Davies. The Canadian’s debut came under Niko Kovac on January 27, 2019, six months before Flick took charge of Bayern. Under his orders, the Canadian full-back already became indisputable in Flick’s first season at Bayern. In total, he played 29 games and 2,333 minutes in the Bundesliga, the top of the six seasons he has been in Bayern’s first team, waiting for how this one ends, in which he has accumulated 19 games and 1,447 minutes.
