Spanish giants, Barcelona have appointed former Bayern Munich boss, Hansi Flick, as the club’s new coach on a two-year contract.

Flick replaces Xavi Hernández, who left the club earlier on Wednesday after being sacked last week.

Flick has been out of work since last year September when he was sacked by the German national team following a group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup and a run of poor results after the tournament.

He had previously overseen great success at Bayern, winning the Champions League as part of a historic treble in 2020 before he took on the Germany job in the summer of 2021.

Barcelona finished 10 points short of La Liga champions Real Madrid this season and were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by PSG.
