Earlier today, reports emerged in some Madrid-based outlets suggesting that Hansi Flick ‘was tired’ of managing FC Barcelona and was considering leaving at the end of the season.
The German tactician’s contract with the Catalans runs until the summer of 2027, but the report claimed that he had been thinking about an exit in 2026 since September.
Since then, the reports have been downplayed, with Flick understood to be very happy at Barça and having no intentions of a premature exit.
Flick’s own reaction
Now, according to journalist Alfredo Martinez, Flick was informed about the reports about him considering leaving Barcelona at the end of the season.
The former Bayern Munich and German national team boss had a short but pointed response to the rumours, as he allegedly said: “Mas basura,” which translates in English to “More rubbish” or “More bu** s**t”.

The response makes it clear as to what Flick’s actual feelings are as far as his continuity and future at Barcelona are concerned.
The manager has gone on record multiple times already stating that he is very happy at the Catalan club, and that his experience since joining the team last year has been nothing but positive.
In fact, during the press conference on Tuesday, leading up to tonight’s match against Club Brugge, Flick reiterated the same when he said:
“I’m very happy in Barcelona. I really love this club and these players, I’m very happy at this club and in this city, I’ll give my best.”
So, as far as speculations about Flick’s future go, Barcelona fans can rest easy as the manager remains happy and fully committed to the project he is building at the club.
