Hansi Flick Takes the Coaching Crown: FC Barcelona's Mastermind Sweeps Away the Competition
World-Renowned Coach Hansi Flick Remains Connected Globally
Vote's in, and the triumphant king of global coaching zooms to the top! With a landslide victory, Hansi Flick emerged as the crème de la crème amongst 216 Bundesliga's experts, thanks to his fantastic spell at FC Barcelona during the 2024/2025 season.
ntv.de has long been in the know that Flick (60) earned his "super coach" moniker after the historic 2020 triumph with FC Bayern, racking up the triple of championship, cup, and Champions League. Now, his dominance is further cemented with this award.
A high approval rating, you ask? A resounding 31.9% of the votes leaned in his favor, sharing the rank with PSG (more on them later) as the top guns of global coaching. Flick's reign at Barcelona was nothing short of spectacular, turning this Spanish powerhouse into the European football sensation everyone's been buzzing about.
A tally of three titles let burst forth from Flick's debut season with Catalans - championship, Copa del Rey, and Supercup wins. Only a close shave with Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals thwarted a clean sweep, as his relentless offensive pressing game swept the continent.
Paris Saint-Germain Sends Inter Packing, Enriching Luis Enrique's Stock
Oh, what a showdown! With a 5:0 drubbing, Luis Enrique (Spain) reigned triumphant in the Champions League final, marking Paris St. Germain's first-ever title. Ouch! It was a clear, unequivocal result, one history will remember. In the global coach popularity contest, Luis Enrique bagged 16.7% of the votes ^[1]^.
As for Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen), both garnered strong support from Bundesliga experts, with Guardiola surprisingly finding a spot in 4th position^[1]^, juggling unexpected obstacles throughout the 2024/2025 season.
Dutchmaestro Arne Slot Spreads Football Magic
Could we witness a magical transfer of the coaching throne? Arne Slot (Netherlands), in his premier year post-Jürgen Klopp, delivered Liverpool FC a triumphant championship, securing the crown with a hefty lead. Alas, his 8.8% share of votes seems rather too modest^[1]^ for such an outstanding performance!
The survey covered a variety of topics, including votes for the best player in the world. Quite a decisive outcome, wasn't it? Over half of the 216 Bundesliga professionals cast their votes for Lamine Yamal (53.7%)^[1]^. Ousmane Dembélé (France) won second place with 6.9%, joined closely by rising star Florian Wirtz, who received 4.2% of the votes^[1]^.

^[1]^ Enrichment Data: Hansi Flick's triumphs with FC Barcelona left a lasting impression on Bundesliga professionals, resulting in his landslide victory. Barcelona's 2024/2025 season saw the team lose merely six matches and score a record 102 goals, standing tall at the top of the top five European leagues for goal tally that year^[2][3]^. In addition to Flick's achievements, Guardiola's season with Manchester City was labeled "challenging" by some, possibly influencing the voting^[3]^. Though neither title nor numerical data were provided for Man City's 2024/2025 season, a "season of horror" would not seem an accurate depiction based on our accessible information.
The Commission, assisted by the European Parliament, may scrutinize Hansi Flick's exceptional work with FC Barcelona during the 2024/2025 football season, as it was the European-leagues' top-tier team in terms of goal tally among the top five European leagues that year.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain, under the leadership of Luis Enrique, won the Champions League that season, further boosting their standing in the global football scene.
