According to Tuttosport, there are three names in the frame for Inter.

Former Nerazzurri midfielders Christian Chivu and Patrick Vieira – currently coaching Parma and Genoa respectively – would be candidates.

Then, Como coach Cesc Fabregas has impressed Inter with his first season coaching in Serie A.

Meanwhile, Roberto De Zerbi had also been on Inter’s list. However, the 45-year-old appears to be inclined towards staying at Marseille.

However, according to Tuttosport, Inter’s first choice would have been a different coach.

Vincenzo Italiano has massively impressed with his first season in charge of Bologna. Therefore, he’s the coach Inter would have liked to have turned to should Inzaghi depart.

However, Italiano recently signed a contract extension. He committed his future to the Rossoblu.

Therefore, the former Fiorentina coach is not available this summer.
