Despite Massimo Moratti having openly declared that Andrea Stramaccioni is safe, speculation has started regarding who his successor could be on the Inter hot spot should the Rome-born tactician be sacked. Calcissimi.com reports that the Inter directors have started the work in putting together a list of names of possible replacements and that this list is topped by Napoli’s current manager, Walter Mazzarri.

According to the same source Mazzarri is the Nerazzurri’s top choice due to several reasons, mainly because he is sitting on an expiring contract which he doesn’t aim to extend as well as being considered as a tactician with clear ideas of how to play the game. Also his ability to handle a somewhat difficult locker-room such as Inter’s as well as an incredible desire to win and develop a group of players to take the next step are given as reasons behind why Mazzarri is prefered.
