Report – Genoa Head Coach Becomes Frontrunner To Replace Simone Inzaghi At Inter Milan | OneFootball

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.

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.
