Hansi Flick has begun learning Spanish.

The former Bayern Munich and Germany coach is among the contenders to succeed Xavi at Barcelona. Xavi will step down at the end of the season.

Flick is now taking Spanish language lessons, reports BILD.

After his time with Germany, Flick feels ready to return to club football next season.

Flick was considered by Barca three years ago before he was named Germany coach.
