Genoa coach Patrick Vieira has become the leading candidate to succeed Simone Inzaghi at Inter Milan.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Frenchman has leapfrogged Cristian Chivu on Inter’s list of targets.
Indeed, the Romanian tactician is on the cusp of penning a contract extension at Parma.
The official announcement may arrive tomorrow. Therefore, he is no longer a viable solution for the Nerazzurri.
On the other hand, Cesc Fabregas has already rejected Inter’s approach.
Patrick Vieira Becomes Top Candidate to Take Inter Milan Job

Options are dwindling for Inter after Fabregas’ refusal.
The Spaniard would’ve been a perfect fit for Oaktree’s new project at San Siro.
However, he has chosen to stay at Como.
As such, Inter have shifted their focus elsewhere, but time is becoming a factor.
With the FIFA World Cup around the corner, Beppe Marotta must appoint a new manager on short notice.
Despite his unenviable managerial career, Vieira could be an emergency solution for Inter.
After all, he knows what it takes to defend this shirt after spending four years at San Siro as a player.
From Italian clubs i would only bring Vincenzo Italiano, the rest are unproven yet. We need someone who had won something before, and who fought for top 3 positions. Vieira, Cesc, Chivu are not that yet. There are a couple out of contract coaches who would be much better option: Mancini, Schmidt and Rose. De Zerbi and Hutter got 2nd and 3rd place in France, then there are Valverde and Pellegrini from La Liga. Any of them are much better at this moment than whatever coach we allegedly went for after Inzaghi. Of course there are better coaches, but i don’t think the board will offer salary higher than 5-6 mil euros per year for new coach
BIG NO to both chivu and vieira they are not good coaches and don’t have any big team experience.
Mark my words if we get either of these two we won’t even finish top 5, and it’s more likely they get sacked before winter and our season ruined.
What the F*** are the management doing ????
Sarri is a top 4 coach, so is Allegri and Conte as well as gasperini. If no one is available we have to go with Mancini to meet our minimum goals. Next season will be bad smh
“we dont have money” they say..
I think that is no longer an excuse this season. From different reports, I think that management will actually start investing on the team.
And to be sacked after 6 weeks.
He will get fired by november
Vieira and Chivu are both big gambles. Add Oaktree’s cheap mercato and the next season will be very interesting.
huge mistakes.. should hire Chivu ahead of viera.
