Hans-Dieter "Hansi" Flick (born February 24, 1965 in Heidelberg ) is a former German soccer player and today's soccer coach . As a player, he played 148 Bundesliga games for FC Bayern Munich and 1. FC Köln . The greatest successes of his playing career were winning the German championship in 1986 , 1987 , 1989 and 1990 as well as winning the DFB Cup in 1986 with FC Bayern.

Then Flick started a coaching career. After starting out at victoria bammental , the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the FC Red Bull Salzburg he worked for eight years as an assistant of national coach Joachim Loew , with whom he at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil World Champion was. This was followed by positions as a functionary at the DFB and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, before Flick returned to the coaching profession in the summer of 2019 at FC Bayern Munich as Niko Kovač's assistant coach. At the beginning of November 2019, Flick became head coach of FC Bayern, with whom he subsequently became the second coach in football history (after Pep Guardiola with FC Barcelona in 2009 ) to win the sextuple of the championship, the national cup, the Champions League , the national Supercup , and the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Championship before another championship followed in 2021 . After the European Football Championship in 2021, Flick will be the national coach of the DFB .

Career as a player

After passing through the youth clubs BSC Mückenloch, SpVgg Neckargemünd and SV Sandhausen Flick counted out of the 1982/83 season for league-squad of SV Sandhausen.

After three seasons, at the age of 20, he received a licensed player contract with FC Bayern Munich , for which he played over 100 Bundesliga games in five years and with which he became German champion four times and won the DFB Cup once . Udo Lattek's assistant Egon Coordes had seen the midfielder playing Sandhausen's game against Ludwigsburg , whereupon Flick signed the contract in Munich a day later. With FC Bayern, the man from the Electoral Palatinate also played alongside players such as Jean-Marie Pfaff , Lothar Matthäus , Michael Rummenigge and “Wiggerl” Kögl in the final of the European Champion's Cup in the spring of 1987 . They lost 2-1 to FC Porto , Flick was the only Bayern player to be substituted.

From 1990 to 1993 Flick was under contract with 1. FC Köln , for which he played 44 times and scored one goal. Various and protracted injuries forced the Palatinate into sports disability . In September 1992 he played his last Bundesliga game; the following year Flick ended his active professional career at the age of 28.

Flick played twice for the U18 national team in 1983 : On May 15 and 17 in Bolton and Liverpool in the preliminary round matches of the European Championship in a 1-0 win over Sweden and a 3-1 win over Bulgaria .

In 1994 he became a player at FC Victoria Bammental . Bammental is the hometown of Flick's wife Silke and has been his place of residence since 1994. Flick opened a sports shop in the village and ran it until 2017.

Career as a trainer and functionary

Beginnings

He began his coaching career in 1996 as a player-coach at FC Victoria Bammental , who was playing in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg at the time. At the end of the 1998/99 season , the club was relegated to the Nordbaden Association League , where Flick was still active for one season.

For the 2000/01 season , Flick took over the coaching position at the ambitious top division club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and at the end of the season rose to the regional league south as a season champion . Flick obtained his coaching license in 2003 at the German Sport University in Cologne . Together with Thomas Doll , he was honored as the best of his year.

After placing 13, 5, 5, 7 and thus failing several times when trying to get promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga , Flick was relieved of his coaching activity on November 20, 2005. He then worked under Giovanni Trapattoni and with Lothar Matthäus in the coaching staff of FC Red Bull Salzburg .

Assistant coach of national coach Löw

Joachim Löw and Flick announcing Flicks as assistant coaches (2006)

On August 23, 2006 he was appointed by the German Football Association to assist national coach Joachim Löw to look after the German senior national team. In the corresponding public announcement, Flick, who had not previously had an employment relationship with the DFB, was presented as the preferred candidate for the position of assistant coach. Together, Löw and Flick formed the national team's first coaching team, in which neither had ever played in the national team.

In addition to his work on the field, Flick was involved in the creation of databases that provide information on the physical and technical development of the national players. Databases for the development of the players were also created for the youth division of the German national soccer team with the participation of Flick.

In the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 against Portugal, Flick was the responsible coach of the German team, as Joachim Löw had been banned from UEFA for this game; Germany won the game.

On November 10, 2010 he received the Bambi in the category “Jury Prize of Honor”, ​​the laudation was given by Mesut Özil .

In 2014, the German national team became soccer world champions with Flick as assistant coach. Since he did not want to wait for the opportunity to become national coach himself, Flick resigned as assistant coach after winning the title.

DFB sports director

After the 2014 World Cup , Flick gave up his position as assistant coach and switched to the post of sports director at the DFB on September 1, 2014. He received a five-year contract there until August 2019. On January 16, 2017, he left the German Football Association at his own request.

Managing Director Sport in Hoffenheim

At the beginning of the 2017/18 season , Flick became Managing Director Sport of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and was thus placed in front of the long-time director of professional football Alexander Rosen . However, the collaboration, which was contractually scheduled for five years, was terminated prematurely after eight months on February 26, 2018.

Sextuple winner with FC Bayern Munich

For the 2019/20 season , Flick became assistant coach at FC Bayern Munich . He succeeded Peter Hermann , who had left the club after his contract expired, and was next to Robert Kovač's assistant to his brother Niko . After the club separated from the Kovač brothers, Flick took over the team as interim coach from November 4, 2019. At this point the record champions were in 4th place with 18 points after 10 match days. After victories against Olympiacos Piraeus ( Champions League , 2-0) and Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga, 4-0), CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed during the international break in November that Flick would remain head coach at least until the end of the first half of the season December 22, 2019, the club announced that it would hold onto its coach at least until the end of the season. As part of Flick's first training camp with the team (January 2020 in Qatar ), he publicly demanded reinforcement for the team, which was still represented in three competitions at the time, whereupon sports director Hasan Salihamidžić only contracted Álvaro Odriozola as a compromise , who subsequently hardly played .

At the beginning of April 2020, Flick and FC Bayern extended the contract until mid-2023. As a result, Flick became the first Bayern coach to win 22 of his first 25 competitive games (Guardiola won 21 of the first 25). With 32 unbeaten games in a row (including 31 wins) and 23 competitive game victories in a row, he and his team set new records in German professional football. On the 32nd matchday he prematurely won the 30th German championship with FC Bayern Munich. In July 2020, he won the DFB Cup final after a win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen . The final tournament of the Champions League in Lisbon followed in August 2020 . After an 8-2 win against FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals, the team reached the final via Olympique Lyon , in which Paris Saint-Germain was defeated 1-0 and thus won the triple for the second time since 2013 . A few days later, Flick was voted football coach of the year . After the season, the coach also had no influence on the changes of the former regular player Thiago and the substitute keeper Sven Ulreich , which further influenced his relationship with Salihamidžić.

Winning the UEFA Super Cup and the DFL Supercup followed in September 2020 . In October, Flick was named Europe's Coach of the Year by UEFA , making him the first recipient of the newly created award. This was followed in February 2021 by winning the Club World Cup , which had been postponed from the original December date to February 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic . The sextuple had previously only been won by Pep Guardiola with FC Barcelona in 2009.

During the 2020/21 season there were repeated differences of opinion with the sports director Hasan Salihamidžić. In March 2021 it became known that Flick had said “shut up!” On a bus trip to Salihamidžić, for which he apologized publicly. At the same time, Flick was publicly traded as his successor from the beginning of March 2021 after the national coach Joachim Löw announced that he would be stepping down from his post after the 2021 European Championship . After the quarter-final in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain - in the DFB Cup, Bayern had already failed in the second main round at the second division Holstein Kiel - Flick announced after the following Bundesliga game on matchday 29 in an interview with Sky to have informed the club that he wanted to terminate his contract, which ran until June 30, 2023, after the season. The board of directors of FC Bayern Munich disapproved of Flick's one-sided communication. Those responsible for the club also criticized the coach's independent contact with his potential dream players, the inadequate consideration of young players or the higher susceptibility to goals conceded compared to previous years. Flick himself, however, again had problems with the club's transfer policy, this time due to the separation from long-time defenders David Alaba and Jérôme Boateng, which had already been established before the end of the season . Ten days after the Sky interview, FC Bayern announced the agreement with Flick to terminate the contract at the end of the season by signing Julian Nagelsmann . On the 32nd matchday, the German championship had been won and thus the seventh title in about one and a half years under flick.

National coach

After the European Championship in 2021 , Flick will become the national coach of the German national team . He signed a contract until mid-2024, which includes the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 European Championship at home , and succeeds his former boss Joachim Löw , who is stepping down after 15 years.
