Former Germany and Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick has signed with super agent Pini Zahavi.

Flick is emerging as a top candidate to succeed Xavi as Barcelona coach at the end of the season. Xavi will leave at season's end.

Zahavi is close to Barca president Joan Laporta, though the Catalans aren't the only option ahead of Flick.

Interest from England is also arriving, says Okdiario, while a return to Bayern could happen.

It's been suggested Flick could be offered a short-term deal to June should the Bayern board decide to remove Thomas Tuchel as the team continues to stumble.

Interestingly, Zahavi moved Lewandowski from Bayern to Barca two years ago.
