Inter Milan has been pushed back into their attempts at Cesc Fabregas de Como.
Inter had made the former midfielder in Barcelona and Arsenal his first choice to replace coach Simone Inzaghi, who left the club on Tuesday to sign a lucrative agreement with the Saudi side Al Hilal.
Fabregas took over at Como full -time at the start of the season and impressed, leading the club promoted to 10th row of Serie A.
This drew the attention of the Inter, but the president of Como Mirwan Suwarso says that the Nerazzurri needs to look elsewhere.
Suwarso said: “We have communicated our refusal directly to the President of Inter, who recognized it with courtesy and clarity which is expected among clubs which have mutual respect.
“For this reason, we treat rumors insisting on their interest in our coach as a pure fantasy – almost no one would insist after such a clear answer. In particular an Inter caliber club. “
Chivu and then old online
Reports in Italy suggest that former players of Inter Patrick Vieira and Cristian Chivu will now be studying.
Vieira has had a mixed management career and is now in charge of Genoa, who finished 13th last season, while Chivu has been a parma coach for four months after being previously the team of under 19.
Whoever obtains the position will find it difficult to replace Inzaghi, who won a Scudetto, two Italia Coppas and three Italiana supercoppas during his four years in San Siro.
The only major trophy to escape Inzaghi was the Champions League.
Inzaghi guided Inter on the final twice to be beaten in 2023 by Manchester City and, Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain. Inter was not a match for PSG this weekend with the Ligue 1 team winning 5-0 in Munich.
