I'm surprised about only one thing in this deal. Only a one-year extension?  Huh  I thought Barcelona would extend it by 2 years at least.

You know he has a big potential to win even 4 trophies in total this season. Hansi Flick is clearly the best manager for them now.

While Flick is about to sign a new deal, Ancelotti is preparing to say farewell to Real Madrid... Let's see who will go face-to-face with Flick from now on.
Barcelona faced tons of severance pay during one of their worst financial period because they had to let bad coaches go, and that is why they can't offer more than one year to anyone at the moment. Flick did great, so he is getting another year because of that, and if he does well again then he will get another year, and if Barcelona wins everything, then he may get even more.

However, if he starts to be terrible, how are they going to pay for 3+ year contract while also sacking him and getting someone else. There was a moment in Barcelona history where they were paying three different managers, they do not want that to happen again. Even with what they achieved this season, that doesn't mean they are trusting anyone anymore. Look at Xavi, great on first season, not so good on his second season.
