If Chelsea need to replace Mauricio Pochettino, one man who they could turn to is former Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick.

Hansi Flick is currently without a job after being sacked by Germany and seems to be interested in English football.

As per Sport, the 59-year-old was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to watch Chelsea‘s west London rivals Fulham beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0.

Flick has been linked to Chelsea before, with Calciomercato claiming last year that the Blues considered replacing Graham Potter with the German.

Another manager who they could target is Ruben Amorim, but the Sporting Lisbon boss has a big release clause that may need to be triggered if anyone wants him this summer.

Could Hansi Flick replace Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea?

If Chelsea do decide to sack Pochettino, then Flick is obviously a logical name to consider.

The former Germany manager is available, has managed at a big club before in Bayern and won plenty there.

The chance to coach in the Premier League and at one of the best teams in the country will also probably appeal to Flick.

However, while Flick is a name that Chelsea probably would consider, we are not at that stage yet. Pochettino is still clinging on to his job and could actually end up saving it.

If the Blues can finish fifth or sixth or win the FA Cup and qualify for the Europa League as a result, that may be enough to get the Argentine into next season. But given how they have played this term, that is a big if.

All in all, it has been a disastrous campaign for Pochettino and Chelsea. If the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain manager is sacked and players are sold in the summer, they can have little to complain about. This is a side who have really underperformed this season.
