Flick’s arrival has come around very quickly, with reports having only emerged in the last couple of weeks in regards to Xavi’s impending sacking. He has a huge job on his hands to restore Barcelona to their former glory, and it will be made especially difficult due to the club’s financial woes. However, it’s a challenge that he will surely relish.
