FC Barcelona have confirmed on Wednesday the appointment of Hansi Flick as their new manager.

The former Bayern Munich and Germany national team boss was linked with taking over at Barca following the sacking of Xavi Hernandez.

Flick signed a two-year deal that will keep him at the Camp Nou until the summer of 2026.

The German manager had an impressive spell at Bayern Munich where he guided the team to an incredible six-trophy haul success in 2020.

However, he had a disastrous run with the German national team, winning only 12 of his 25 games in charge.

The Die Mannschaft was also eliminated at the group stage of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
