According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Chelsea FC is contemplating the appointment of former Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick as the potential successor to Mauricio Pochettino.
Internal discussions regarding the possibility of Flick joining Stamford Bridge have reportedly already occurred. Despite a challenging start under Pochettino, with inconsistent results leaving Chelsea in 11th place in the Premier League table, there is currently no immediate plan to replace the Argentine manager. However, the club is said to be actively building relationships and monitoring individuals in the managerial market to be prepared for potential future changes.
Flick, who guided Bayern Munich to Champions League victory in the 2019-2020 season, is reportedly among the candidates under consideration for future managerial succession planning at Chelsea.

Jacobs clarified that discussions about potential replacements do not imply a lack of faith in Pochettino but rather demonstrate Chelsea’s proactive approach to keeping their options open for the future.
“In considering names like Flick, Chelsea isn’t undermining Pochettino; they’re simply planning ahead, staying informed about available talent,” Jacobs explained to GIVEMESPORT. “It’s a strategic move, normal in succession planning.”
