The first year at Stamford Bridge of Argentinian manager Mauricio Pochettino has been considered to be a turbulent one for the football club. The Chelsea club falls into the 11th spot in the Premier League standings, a fact which leaves emotions far from being calm. Their run into the semi-finals of the FA Cup despite issues with injuries and a shock elimination from the Carabao Cup somehow created a feeling of relief in despair.
In a season full of conundrums, Pochettino’s youthful squad has consistently demonstrated an exasperating discrepancy, with fans and manager perplexed. The coach struggling in the league matches has hugely brought the heat on his head, with fans now being after his blood. The coach must now deliver or else he is going to face some real challenge at the end of the season. The financial challenge that Chelsea is facing makes the necessity of getting Europeans into the team an issue of more urgency than ever. However, the end of another season without paving the way to a European competition could mean a real disaster for the manager.
Although the overall view of the Chelsea directors is that Pochettino deserves to be a permanent fixture, the sacking of two permanent head coaches during Todd Boehly’s regime introduces a sense of wariness. Therefore, the planning process has already initiated the probable need for a change of manager.

What is the transfer buzz around Hansi Flick at Chelsea?
While the future is not guaranteed for the head coach, Hansi Flick does present himself as a strong candidate for the coach position according to various reports. Since he departed from the German national team a year ago, the one-time Bayern Munich coach hasn’t got a job. But, despite Chelsea’s palpable interest in him, he still has his eyes on a higher goal and might have other interests as well.
The fact that Flick is being considered for the same vacancy as at Stamford Bridge speaks volumes and underscores Chelsea’s readiness for an eventuality of unforeseeable circumstances. Flick’s successful record, crowned by Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League trophies, as the former manager of Bayern Munich could prove a good basis for Chelsea. Furthermore, Flick`s tactical skills and good team spirit building deserve time and are likely to awaken some sleeping giants at Chelsea.
