Flick Follows Alonso's Footsteps as Barcelona Dominate March
23 March 2026
Flick follows Alonso's footsteps
The Spanish league named Hansi Flick, Barcelona's coach, as Coach of the Month for March, beating Diego Simeone of Atletico Madrid and Luis Castro of Levante in the voting.
Barcelona enjoyed a perfect March with a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao in San Mamés, a 5-2 victory over Sevilla at Camp Nou, and finishing with a 1-0 win vs Rayo Vallecano to collect 9 points from 3 games and stay atop La Liga.
Although the run was stellar, this marks Flick's first Coach of the Month award this season, after Xabi Alonso won it in August. Other coaches who have claimed monthly honors this season include Eder Sarabia, Iñigo Pérez, Marcelino, Manolo González, Mattarazzo, and Pellegrini, per league sources.
Last season Flick had already shone, earning Coach of the Month three times (August, October, February) and finishing the campaign as La Liga's best coach, cementing his status among the competition's elite.
Barcelona's form in March leaves them well-placed at the top of the table, with the squad and fans hoping the streak continues into the next fixtures.
Punchline 1: If Flick's tactics were a weapon they'd be a silencer quieting defenses without waking the crowd.
Punchline 2: Barca's plan is so sharp the whistle needs a helmet.
