Hansi Flick sent strong Jose Mourinho message by Barcelona
Don’t get drawn into the circus.
Barcelona reportedly conveyed a stern warning to FC Barcelona's head coach, Hansi Flick, regarding Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid appointed the Portuguese manager recently. The report from Diario Sport highlights Barcelona's cautionary advice to Flick, instructing him to maintain a careful approach when dealing with Mourinho and Real Madrid.
The rivalry between Mourinho and Barcelona has been a contentious one, given Mourinho's turbulent history at the club, including confrontations with former colleagues Tito Vilanova and Pep Guardiola. Despite these tensions, Flick, a seasoned coach, appears to be acutely aware of Mourinho's history and is prepared to manage any potential confrontations.
At the end of the previous season, when asked about Mourinho, Flick responded confidently, stating that he is ready to face any opposing coach. Given Flick's awareness of the situation, it seems he is prepared to handle any questions or provocations surrounding Mourinho. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho has already targeted La Liga referees since Real Madrid suffered a loss to Real Betis in a recent match.
