Hansi Flick decides to start work today, set to join Deco on squad planning.

Hansi Flick was set to start working on July 12th, but he has decided to start today. Him and Deco will start working on the squad planning.

Barcelona manger Hansi Flick will have his first full day of work at the club today, as he lands at the Ciutat Esportiva to plan the coming months with Sporting Director Deco. After penning a two-year deal with the Catalan giants, Flick left to go on holiday for the past 10 days in Mallorca with his family.

Deco is also returning from holidays in his native Brazil, and the pair will outline their plans for the transfer market today. Flick will also settle on the training regimes and implementing a culture of work with Deco, as the Barcelona hierarchy are desperate to get the Blaugrana squad as fit as possible.

During their discussions for Flick to become manager, Deco had already informed the German that they were keen to bring in a pivot in midfield, and a left winger, but depending on their salary limit, there was a chance that neither would arrive this summer. Sport say the uncertainty over finances will play a key role in their discussions.
