Overview
- Spanish outlet Sport is cited as the source for the succession list, echoed by Sportbild, Ran and SPORT1, and none of the parties have issued official confirmation.
- Hansi Flick remains the incumbent with a contract through summer 2027 after winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa in his first season.
- Sport names Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta as leading options; Enrique previously coached Barcelona and is reportedly not opposed to a return.
- Both Enrique at PSG and Arteta at Arsenal are under contract until 2027, a constraint that would complicate any near‑term move.
- Flick has publicly tied his future to the club’s political leadership, with Joan Laporta saying the 2026 election will be his final campaign.
