REVEALED: Flick keen on Chelsea job after initial rejection

Former Germany and Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick is a candidate to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.

That's according to BILD's football chief Christian Falk.

Falk is reporting: "Hansi Flick is now a strong candidate for the Chelsea job. Flick would love to coach in the Premier League and is watching the big six (clubs). He spoke to Tottenham before taking the national team. This would be a club at his level.

"Chelsea is very interesting as he spoke to the club after Frank Lampard was sacked, it was a phone call between him and former director Marina Granovskaia. By now he was the treble-winning coach of Bayern and he said no when the talks took place, in 2021.

"But he was interested in Chelsea."
