According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick will extend his contract with FC Barcelona now that club president Joan Laporta has been re-elected for another term.

Laporta indicated that with his election, Flick will get a new deal. Here is what Plettenberg reports:

Flick was asked about the report and tried to deflect attention back on Barca’s upcoming Champions League match vs. Newcastle United.

“I don’t think it’s the right time. We have a very important match. Everyone knows I’m very happy here, but I need to talk to my family. There will be time to talk, it’s not the time now,” Flick said (as captured by Yahoo.com). “It’s clear that I love working here. The most important thing, what I feel, is that I have a great family here. I have the support of Barcelona, but this is football. I’m here to help reach the highest level, but there’s still time. I’m not thinking about going anywhere else. This will be my last club, my last job, and I’m delighted.”

For those hoping to see Flick back at Bayern Munich at some point, that last line could be disappointing.
