Chelsea made a💃 late surge up the table, and probably felt as if the end of the season came at an uꩵnfortunate time.

That being said, Chelsea’s co-owners were not happy with Pochettinꦯo’s critic🔯ism of how the club was run and felt they could not move forward with some🌞one questꦆioning them in the long-term.

As has been the case in west London over the last few years, Chelsea didn’t hesitate, and Todd Boehly will once again be looking for a new manager.

Chelsea are thought to want to make a swift appointment, whi༒ch explains why several candidates are alജready being strongly linked with the job.

Roberto De Zerbi and Kieran McKenna seem two obvious options, perhaps along with Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

That be💃ing said, journalist has now shared an update on X regarding 🍸the possibility of Hansi Flick replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.

Plettenberg was clear in his update that Flick will not become the London club’s new manager because his interest💟 remains elsewhere.

He said: “Been told from🍰 the coach’s circle that Hansi Flick will not become the new coach of Chelsea. The 59 y/o is focused on other projects.”

Perhaps that will be considered a shame by some, a calibre of ma🍸nager who would be well suited to succeeding in the Premier League.

In truth, a lot of Chelsea fans are probably just exasperated to be in this position again, searching for a n༒ew boss.

Pochettino’s style does feel slightly outdated in today’💛s game, but he was a manager who could steady the ship at Chelsea, preparing the club for more sꦓuccess.

And should Boehly a🐭nd his team decide to go for either De Zerbi or McKenna it will be a risk, but perhaps it is a roll of the dice they are willing to make.

All that being said, it seems as if C🦄helsea could rival Manchester United for one candidate.
