Flick keen on Barcelona job and already learning Spanish

The coach is also said to be learning Spanish.

Former coach of the German team is looking for a new challenge.

Hansi Flick has started learning Spanish after being told he's been included in Barca's lists of candidates to succeed Xavi as head.

Flick is said to be keen on the job, and the fact that he is already learning the language is seen as a sign that he is serious about taking charge at the Camp Nou.

The 58-year-old is currently out of work after leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season. He has been linked with a number of jobs since then but has yet to find a new club.

Barcelona are on the lookout for a new manager after Xavi was sacked earlier this month. The Catalan giants have endured a difficult season and are currently ninth in La Liga.

Flick has a good track record as a manager. He won the Bundesliga and Champions League with Bayern Munich and also led Germany to victory at the 2022 World Cup.

He would be a popular choice with Barcelona fans, and his appointment would be seen as a sign that the club are serious about returning to their former glories.
