Han Ji Flick, Barcelona coach, hinted at retirement.

Citing sources close to Flick, Spain's Lelebo reported on the 16th (Korea time) that `I heard Barcelona will be Flick's last managerial post.'

Flick is a master of Germany. Flick, who started his leadership career as Hoffenheim coach, was recognized for his ability through coaching in Salzburg and the German national team. He also served as the German Football Association's Sporting Director. While Coach Flick was a coach and director, Germany was amazing in reaching the semifinals or higher in all major competitions.




It was in 2019 that Flick, who was called the master of Jaeya, received the world's attention. Having taken over as an acting manager, he achieved the second treble in the club's history. At that time, Bayern had no opponents with perfect performance. After a successful run, he became the coach of the German national team, but unfortunately, he dropped out due to repeated sluggish performances. The defeat against Japan was crucial.

It appears to be a successful revival. Coach Flick, who returned to the scene with the baton of Barcelona this season, is fiercely competing with Real Madrid for the title with his unique offensive football. He is showing off his impressive leadership by winning a big victory over Real Madrid in the early stages. Barcelona is currently in second place.

Coach Flick, who has already turned 60, is in the second half of his leadership career. It is time to think about the future after the leadership life. First of all, I'm not retiring right away. Barcelona are preparing to renew Flick's contract. Barcelona have expressed satisfaction with Flick's leadership. Barcelona is trying to win four trophies this season, including the Supercopa de España victory. Barcelona will play Dortmund in the quarterfinals of the European Champions League.
