"Flick, in charge of Barcelona? The coach right now is Xavi, that's it"
Hansi Flick will now share his agent with Robert Lewandowski, which is why some are already speculating about the possibility of the German succeeding Xavi at the helm of Barcelona. "He's a good person, but the coach is now Xavi," said the Pole.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski believes the team face "a perfect week to take a step forward", with the game against Celta in LaLiga and against Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League last 16.
"We have a game in Vigo on Saturday and on Wednesday we play in the Champions League, and this is the perfect time to play better and win. If that happens, step by step, we will go up," he said.
Lewandowski made these statements at the 'Antigua Fabrica Damm', which hosted the closing ceremony of the 18th edition of the book 'Relatos Solidarios del Deporte', which on this occasion raised 80,993 euros for the Lovaas Foundation, which specialises in intervention programmes for children with autism.
The Polish international, godfather of this solidarity project, spoke about Barcelona's situation and acknowledged that it is "difficult to explain" this drop in sporting performance compared to last season.
However, he hinted that the move to the Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys has not helped, because "the Camp Nou is what it is", and above all, that the team is suffering from the youth of the current squad.
"We have young players and it's easy for the club and the coach. It takes a bit of time. We can't compare ourselves to last year, when we had Busi (Sergio Busquets), Jordi Alba and, in the first half of the season, also Gerard Pique. Players with quality and experience," he said.
On the other hand, Lewandowski did not want to assess the possibility that the German Hansi Flick, with whom he already coincided at Bayern Munich, could become the Barcelona coach next season, recalling that Xavi Hernandez is still, as of today, the coach of the 'Cules'. "Who is the coach now? Xavi, right? Well, that's it. Flick is a good person", he limited himself to saying.
And finally, he sent a message of optimism to the 'Cule' fans. "We're together, we play together, and I'm sure that, between now and the end of the season, we're going to win a lot of games, even in the Champions League, and in the end we'll win something," he concluded.
