Hansi Flick drives a Cupra Ateca, it is an SUV type car that ranges from 45 to 55 thousand dollars. It is a mid-range car available to almost anyone in Spain. This contrasts with the coach's salary of $3.2 million dollars per year. With what he earns he could easily have a high-end car like Mercedes Benz, Lamborghini, Audi, among other cars that are generally seen in the world of football.

Regarding the car that Hansi Flick drives, according to the Coches.net portal it is an SUV type: “CUPRA Ateca offers gasoline engines that range from 190 HP in its most basic version to 300 HP in the most powerful. With an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds in its top-of-the-range version,” published the portal of said car, this page also refers to the aforementioned price.

The place where Hansi Flick's car could be seen was precisely outside the FC Barcelona training session. What caught attention was that the coach of the Spanish team got out of the car to take photos with the fans, sign t-shirts and autographs. The fans saw this as a gesture of humility on the part of the coach who had no qualms about getting out of his car and pleasing the fans who were outside.

So far Hansi Flick has fulfilled his role almost perfectly. He has won 6 consecutive titles in the Spanish League and with goals included. Their only setback was in the UEFA Champions League when they faced Monaco, in this match they lost 2 to 1 but largely because Erick García, one of their players, was sent off when they were barely 10 minutes into the game. For the rest, Hansi Flick promises that he will fight with FC Barcelona this season.

In his presentation, Hansi Flick said that he knew that he was going to coach Barça at some point, that sooner or later he was going to achieve it: “I am delighted to be coach of Barcelona. It is one of the largest. I want to win titles and you can only win with the greats. I'm not saying we will win everything, but we will work hard to win. We really want to get started," confessed the former Bayern Munich coach.
