Hansi Flick will receive the award for coach of the year in LaLiga 2024/25 from the Coaches Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The coach won the award after winning the national treble with the Blaugrana team, signing a historic season.
Barça won the Spanish Super Cup in January, the Copa del Rey in April and LaLiga in May after beating Real Madrid in all three tournaments. In the overall balance, the 'Culés' added 4 victories in 4 Clásicos against the 'Merengues', with 16 goals in favor and 7 against.
In that sense, Flick swept the votes for an award that will be presented on Saturday, June 21 during the final day of the First International Congress of Coaches of the RFEF, which begins this Friday, June 20 at the Hotel Meliá Castilla in Madrid.
The congress concludes with the I Golden Bench Awards Gala, in which the best coaches of the elite categories of professional football and men's and women's futsal will be awarded.
Barça does the double with Hansi Flick and Pere Romeu
This allows Barça to do the double, as Pere Romeu will also be awarded for his great season with the women's first team. The coach took over from Jonatan Giráldez and swept the three national trophies (Liga F, Copa de la Reina and Supercopa).
The season was not perfect because the Women's Champions League trophy was missing, but reaching the final against Arsenal (1-0 defeat) was very meritorious for the 'Culés'.
In total, 14 awards will be given to the best coaches in Spanish football, from the men's and women's First Division to the five groups of the Second Football Federation.
