Flick is prepared for a club role, according to TBR Football, and his agent has made some moves for Premier League teams. The 59-year-old treble-winning manager’s availability has been communicated to West Ham United, Chelsea, and Manchester United in advance of the summer.
In the brief time it took for the 59-year-old to win the treble and enjoy unprecedented success with Bayern Munich, Hansi Flick was a revelation. But he made the decision to step down in order to take over as German national manager from Joachim Low. But after several disappointing outcomes, that term came to an abrupt end.
He wants to go back into football management after a lengthy time of unemployment. Flick’s representatives have expressed interest in joining a number of elite teams, including at least three prominent Premier League teams, but it is unclear which clubs would be his first choice. Rumours circulated that he may take Xavi Hernandez’s place at Barcelona, and he had ties to Bayern Munich. However, they have moved past the Hansi Flick rumours, with Xavi continuing to reside in Catalonia. In the meantime, it appears that the Bavarians have put their previous 59-year-old treble-winning manager out of their minds.
Last but not least is West Ham, where new rumours indicate Julen Lopetegui may be getting closer to taking David Moyes’ job as manager. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Hansi Flick would sign with any of those three teams during the offseason, but in football, anything can happen at any time.
