Pochettino not an option for Bayern Munich with Flick set to see out the season

Bayern Munich are set to allow caretaker boss Hansi Flick to stay on through the rest of the season, according to information obtained by Goal and SPOX.

Flick was taken on as assistant coach in the summer and assumed the club's top job earlier this month when Niko Kovac was relieved of his duties.

Several names have been mooted as long-term successors for Kovac; chief among them Mauricio Pochettino, who is free to join any club after being recently sacked by Tottenham.

Pochettino, however, is seen as only an outsider candidate and is likely to take a break from coaching until the summer at least.
