Barcelona has replaced Xavi Hernández with former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick, who commanded the German team’s 8-2 rout of the Catalan club four years ago.

Flick signed a two-year contract with Barcelona, which announced his hiring Wednesday just minutes after confirming that it reached an agreement to sever ties with Xavi.

“It’s a big honor and also a dream for me to sign my contract here in Barcelona, to work for this amazing club,” the 59-year-old Flick told club media.

It’s Flick’s first coaching job since being fired by Germany in September last year. He previously spent two years at Bayern, winning the Champions League and back-to-back German league titles.

“I won some titles with Bayern Munich and my hunger is really big for titles. I would like to stay on this path with Barcelona. We can achieve a lot together,” Flick said in English.
