Despite Hansi Flick's recent contract extension until 2028, FC Barcelona is already thinking about the future. According to several reports from Spain, the Catalan management has identified the ideal profile to one day succeed the German coach.

FC Barcelona is already considering life after Hansi Flick. Indeed, despite his recent contract renewal through 2028 and the excellent results achieved at the helm of the Blaugrana, the German tactician has hinted that this could be the final chapter of his coaching career.

However, the Catalan board has no intention of waiting until the last moment to prepare for their manager's succession. According to Catalunya Radio, a Barça emissary has recently contacted Cesc Fabregas to let him know that he is at the top of the list to take charge of the team when Flick steps down.

Moreover, this choice makes sense given the career trajectory of the former Spanish midfielder. A product of La Masia, Fabregas has impressed at Como, leading the club to a historic qualification for the Champions League. As a result, his name is gaining more and more weight in the club's planning.
