The ambitious Under-23 project, endorsed by Oaktree and run by Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta, is starting to take shape.

According to FCInter1908, the Italian giants have narrowed the list for the coaching role down to four names.

Simone Inzaghi is on the verge of equaling an iconic club record with the first team.

However, Inter’s massive success at the senior level is not enough for Oaktree.

The club owners also want a solid foundation in the youth ranks.

Vicenza coach Stefano Vecchi is reportedly the leading candidate for the job.

Fighting to win Serie B promotion, Vecchi could leave his current club in style.

But he’s not the only name on the list.

Virtus Entella boss Fabio Gallo is another option for Inter Milan.

The same goes for former Perugia tactician Lamberto Zauli, who is currently unemployed.

Last but not least, ex-Palermo player and current coach of Feralpisalo is in the running for the seat in the U-23 dugout.
