Barcelona keeping tabs on Spanish coach as potential long-term Flick successor

Barcelona enter the new season in an enviable position from a managerial standpoint.

Hansi Flick recently signed a contract extension until 2028, and with five national titles from six competed for across two seasons, the German coach has firmly established himself as one of the best managers in world football.

Barcelona, in short, look well set from a managerial perspective for the foreseeable future.
But Flick is not going to stay forever, and the club are well aware that planning for the future is never a bad idea. One name that is quietly registering on their radar is Cesc Fabregas.
