Hansi Flick: Coach of the Year 2025 for 'Sport BILD' for his great season with Barça

Recognition for a job well done has arrived for Hansi Flick. The German sports magazine 'Sport Bild' has awarded the FC Barcelona coach as 'Coach of the Year 2025', recognizing the fantastic work he has done in his first season with the Blaugrana team.

The coach has changed the face of the team and has allowed them to dream again of achieving great things both locally and in international competitions, which has led a group of experts, former players and specialized journalists to agree that the 2024/2025 season places Flick as the coach of the moment worldwide.

Recognition of a historic season for Flick's Barça

Under his leadership, Barça has recovered its identity of offensive and possession play, adding to it the winning DNA, conquering the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey and LaLiga, without neglecting that they were very close to playing the final for the Champions League.

The award corresponds to the 23rd SPORT BILD Gala 2025 in the Coach of the Year category. The event took place in Hamburg, Germany, so the Heidelberg native attended the gala telematically.

Refined tactics, dressing room management and maximum demand: the keys to Hansi Flick's great first year in Barcelona

Flick has been able to stand out for two fundamental pillars of work: tactical innovation and excellent dressing room management. The German coach has implemented a versatile system (4-2-3-1) and adaptable, with very advanced lines and a fantastic work of synchronisms to apply the offside tactic that allowed to nullify the attack of many teams, especially that of Real Madrid.

It should not be forgotten that the team has an enormous high pressing with recoveries in the opponent's field that have become part of its identity. Apart from all this, he knows how to maintain a healthy rivalry and competition in the dressing room so that the players fight for a place in the XI.

This award undoubtedly represents a recognition of the coach's sports project, beyond being an individual title, it is a recognition that his approach and planning is on the path he wants and trusts, based on his idea and approach, to help the Blaugrana team to conquer Europe again.
