Flick has made Barça fans regain their joy and see that their team is capable of competing for every title. He accepted the role of coach for a project that was still very green and took it to the next level. After this season, Barça fans can breathe and state that their team has returned to the top of world soccer.
Although they didn't manage to win the Champions League, the Catalans have closed out a dream season and are already thinking about reinforcements for next year. The first has been Joan García, who has been considered the best goalkeeper in LaLiga this year thanks to his strong performances. Although it was desired that the second reinforcement would be Nico Williams, Flick is close to securing another major signing first.
Flick's plan
Flick is a coach who wants to have everything perfectly under control and doesn't let anyone get in the way of his plans. Aware of the club's financial situation, the German has adapted perfectly. Even though he could've gone to another team with more financial resources, he chose glory over money, a gesture that greatly honors him.
Barça fans will be eternally grateful to Flick for staying and trusting Xavi Hernández's project. With young prospects, those from the Ciudad Condal are looking to complete their squad in the best possible way. Joan García has excited the entire Barça environment, but this is just the beginning.
Nico Williams has moved closer to Barça and has shown interest, but there's someone before him. We're talking about Thiago Alcántara, who is close to joining the club's staff. He and Flick have a very good relationship and the coach has expressly requested that the former player join in order to help the club's young talents.
Thiago Alcántara and his potential addition
Thiago Alcántara was already part of Barça's coaching staff and during his time in the Ciudad Condal he was key. He helped many of the boys who were starting to get minutes in the first team, such as Marc Casadó. In fact, the midfielder mentioned it in an interview; Thiago fit in very well with the youth.
His experience at the elite level of soccer is very helpful for the boys who are starting to gain prominence. Although we can't confirm anything yet, Thiago Alcántara is preparing his return and Flick would be delighted with his comeback.
