Hansi Flick, the former head coach of Bayern Munich, is being considered as a replacement for Graham Potter at Chelsea.
This is according to Christian Falk, a journalist, in an interview with CaughtOffside.
Pressure has mounted on Potter at Chelsea following an exceptionally poor season, with only two wins since his return to domestic football.
Despite his terrible form, Potter has the backing of the ownership, according to reports. Falk, on the other hand, claims that there have been discussions about hiring Flick, who led Bayern to the Champions League triumph in 2019.
“I heard that Hansi Flick is an idea as a potential replacement for Graham Potter. I know about the rumours that surfaced after he was spotted at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea’s clash with Fulham but he was actually there because of Kai Havertz.
“Chelsea were knocking at Flick’s door back when Marina Granovskaia held a role with the club. Hansi Flick also told me that there were concrete talks with Tottenham at this time but then he decided on taking up the position of Bundestrainer (Germany head coach).
“But now, not Todd Boehly himself, a middleman knocked on the door of Hansi Flick. I asked Flick about this and he said ‘no comment’. It would be easier for him to say it wasn’t true but he didn’t, so you see there is something there but it’s not an option for Hansi Flick because he wants to remain in charge of Germany for the Euros taking place on home soil in 2024.”
