Speaking about Frick, Rummenigge said: "I think Barca have been more consistent this season than in the last few years and they are playing good football again。It is also more successful at the sporting level, ranking among the best in Spain。Credit to Frick, who has clearly found the key to lead Barca, who are playing a very attractive game at the moment。”

"Frick has also used young players and brought in a lot of exciting new signings。He is a great communicator and that has helped the team to regain confidence and be successful。Frick is an excellent manager, otherwise it would not be possible to win seven titles with Bayern in a year and a half。When he took over, Bayern were fifth in the league。In the second half of the season we were doing incredibly well, up to 13 points ahead of second place。He was the right man at the right time and I'm very grateful to him。Given the success we've had together, I couldn't ask for more。”
