Barcelona fans rate Hansi Flick renewal 9.5 out of 10 as club's best decision

Hansi Flick has won over Barcelona fans through work and results, and the numbers back it up. The German coach's continuity has received a 9.5 out of 10 in the 2025-26 Observatori Blaugrana, the club's annual survey to gauge the mood of its members. It stands as the highest-rated decision made by the board over the entire business year.

• Flick's renewal until 2028 scores 9.5 out of 10, the top mark among all decisions evaluated.
• The sporting area is the best rated at the club, with an average of 8.25.
• The women's team almost reaches perfection with 9.79, while the men's side earns 8.42.
• The economic area gets the lowest score at 5.76, while board management receives a 7.3.

Flick signs new deal until 2028 after May agreement

On May 18, Flick extended his contract with Barcelona until 2028, a move that ended months of speculation about his future. Since taking over the dugout, the German coach has shown a remarkable ability to connect with the stands, both through his team's style of play and the approachability he brings to every appearance.

It is no accident that his continuity stands out in the survey. The trust he generates among the fan base is evident, and the sporting results have backed it up. The bond between the coach and the club's environment has grown so strong that his signature is seen as the great success of the season at board level.

Sporting area dominates the Observatori Blaugrana

The sporting department claims the best average score in the study with an 8.25. Within this section, the performance of the women's team stands out overwhelmingly: a 9.79 that flirts with perfection. The men's first team is not far behind, posting an 8.42 that reflects satisfaction with the season just finished.

The numbers make it clear that fans strongly support the project led by Flick on the pitch. The strong performance shown throughout the campaign has translated into a very positive perception of both the coaching staff and the squad, and that shows in the ratings from members and season ticket holders.

How the other Barça departments scored

The club's other departments receive more modest ratings. The social area earns a 7.29, while the institutional side sits at 7.18. These are decent figures, but far from the outstanding marks accumulated by everything related to the pitch.

The lowest score in the Observatori belongs to the economic area, which barely reaches 5.76. It is the only section that fails to pass, a signal that finances and the economic situation still raise doubts among fans despite the sporting optimism surrounding the first team.

Board management earns a solid passing grade

Respondents give the board of directors an average rating of 7.3. It is a solid mark, built largely on decisions such as Flick's renewal and the strong overall performance of the sporting area, the main driver of satisfaction this season.

Confidence in the board remains at reasonable levels, although the economic failure prevents the overall assessment from being higher. Even so, the general feeling left by the study is that of a fan base satisfied with the sporting direction and with the coach as the great symbol of stability.

How the Barcelona survey was conducted

The 2025-26 Observatori Blaugrana was carried out by the Institut Feedback d’Investigació Aplicada. A total of 3,000 Barcelona members were interviewed, both season ticket holders and non-season ticket holders, all over 18 years old and residing in Spain.

Fieldwork took place between June 11 and 25, 2026, right at the close of the season. That timing made it possible to capture the perception of the Barça fan base at the exact moment the campaign ended, with all the decisions of the year still fresh in the minds of supporters.
