Potter out? Flick sends Chelsea fans into meltdown after Fulham showing
Disgruntled Chelsea fans went wild after seeing Hansi Flick in the stands during their dour 0-0 draw with Fulham.
In the Friday night clash, the west London sides could not break each other down and played out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues, who brought in a plethora of new additions to the side during the January window, have struggled to find form under manager Graham Potter, who departed from Brighton in September.

And the appearance of Hansi Flick did not help matters. The German national side manager was seen in the stands during the Premier League contest, setting off a frenzy online from Blues supporters.

This might be it, Hansi Flick at Chelsea might be the solution. Needs to be done ASAP.
Can't stand a manager who after a draw to Fullham says it was a step up.🤦🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/tCL5x6BB2W— S. (@bunnycfc) February 3, 2023
Hansi Flick was in attendance today, maybe to replace Potter 🤷♀️

Hopefully, Boehly is getting to know Hansi Flick and he’ll be our next men’s coach at Chelsea. Not sure Graham Potter is tactically wise enough to get us playing Champions League-level football again. https://t.co/lgNpxBn57M

If Chelsea hires Hansi Flick to manage these new crop of players, the entire Premier league will feel the full heat of that man's tactical prowess.

However, the former Bayern Munich boss only just recently signed a fresh deal representing his country. Flick confirmed the news after a crisis meeting with the DFB (German football federation).
"My coaching staff and I are optimistic regarding the European Championship in our own country,” Flick said in a statement published by the DFB. “As a team, we can achieve a lot more than we showed in Qatar. We missed a great opportunity there. We will learn our lessons from that."
Flick's accolades
Flick has won two Bundesliga titles with the German giants, as well as the Champions League, which he won in 2019-20 season.
His achievements that year earned him the UEFA Men's Coach of the Year for that season.
