A heavy burden. Hansi Flick announces he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season

The Catalans could lose their head coach in just six months.

Details: According to the reputable outlet ABC, 60-year-old German coach of Barcelona, Hansi Flick, has told his coaching staff that he is exhausted by the relentless pressure and lack of support from the club's management, and plans to leave the team at the end of the current season.

Flick first began contemplating his departure back in September, and although the German never complained about his working conditions, mixed results and the club's challenging financial situation on the transfer market have added to Flick's fatigue.

Flick took charge of the Blaugrana in the summer of 2024. During his tenure, Hansi has overseen 74 matches, securing 54 wins, 8 draws, and 12 defeats. In his very first season, Flick led Barcelona to the Spanish league title, the Spanischer Pokalsieger, and the Spanischer Superpokalsieger.

His contract with Barça runs until 2027, but all signs point to him leaving before his deal expires.

This season, Barcelona sits second in La Liga with 25 points, and 12th in the Champions League group stage, having lost to PSG but defeated Newcastle and Olympiacos.
