Hansi Flick Stands Firm Ahead of Elections: “I Don’t Think They Will Affect the Team”

Flick silences the political noise at Barcelona
As FC Barcelona prepares for decisive presidential elections scheduled for March 15, Hansi Flick delivered a clear and direct message: the electoral process will not affect the team. The German coach, who took charge of the sporting project during a period of institutional rebuilding, underlined professionalism and competitive focus.
Early elections and a message of calm
Flick described holding the elections sooner rather than later as “good news,” stressing that a swift process helps avoid prolonged uncertainty. While making it clear that the matter is not his responsibility, he acknowledged that Joan Laporta had already informed him in advance. Far from showing concern, the coach insisted the team will remain focused on football. “We are professionals,” he repeated, reinforcing the idea that sporting performance should not be influenced by institutional decisions.
Stability, smart signings and La Masia
One of the key points in Flick’s remarks was his strong defense of stability as the foundation for the club’s growth. Since his arrival, the German coach has noticed positive progress: reduced spending, smarter transfer decisions, and a clear commitment to young talents from La Masia. In his view, Barcelona has adapted well to a complex economic landscape without losing its identity, offering real opportunities to homegrown players and building a project on solid foundations.
Flick’s vote and the club’s future
As a club member, Hansi Flick confirmed he will cast his vote, while emphasizing that it remains a personal and confidential decision. He admitted knowing some of the candidates challenging Laporta, but made it clear that his main focus remains the day-to-day work with the squad. His final reflection it's that Barcelona needs continuity and stability to keep moving forward. Now, the future lies in the hands of the members, while Flick keeps a steady grip on the sporting project amid an always turbulent political landscape.
