Barcelona signs German fitness coach trusted by Hansi Flick

Summary

Barcelona has added a new German fitness coach to its staff, trusted by manager Hansi Flick. The appointment comes after the departure of Julio Tous, who will now oversee physical development for Barça Atletic and U19 players. The identity of the new fitness coach remains undisclosed, though it is confirmed he is not Holger Broich. Flick has been prompted to make this change following a series of muscle injuries that affected key players during the previous season. The club's first-team squad is set to return for pre-season on July 13, when preparations for the new campaign will commence with the revamped coaching staff.
