Vodafone Group Plc is considering a reorganization after the departure of European chief Michel Combes, potentially setting out succession candidates at the world’s largest mobile-phone company, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

One scenario involves separating Vodafone’s European operating companies into a group consisting of western Europe and a second entity made up of Turkey, central and eastern Europe, the people said, declining to be identified because the deliberations are confidential. A third group would include Vodafone’s assets in southern Africa and India, said the people, adding that the discussions are at an early stage.
