Hansi Flick named La Liga coach of the month for August after perfect start at Barcelona

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has been named La Liga’s Coach of the Month for August after a perfect start to the season with the Catalan giants.

Flick has guided his team to maximum points after replacing Xavi in the dugout and has quite rightly picked up the award at the first attempt.

Barca are currently top of the early table after victories over Valencia, Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid.

There’s no doubt it’s been a superb start to the season for the Catalans, and Flick, and one that was really needed after another chaotic summer in the transfer window.

Flick beat off competition from Luis Garcia and Marcelino to scoop the award and will be hoping for plenty more during his time at the club.

Barcelona are currently back in training and preparing to face Girona. It’s a tricky test for Barca, particularly coming straight after the international break.
