The shock was brutal for the Nerazzurri. Last Saturday, the Inter saw his dream dream collapse against Paris Saint-Germain, dryly battered (5-0) in the final of the Champions League. A scathing defeat, all the more symbolic as it put an end to a cycle of three seasons under Simone Inzaghi, marked by a Scudetto, two European finals and a solid game identity. In the process, the Italian technician formalized his departure, aware that his message was no longer as clear and that the locker room may need a new breath. A decision matured for several weeks but precipitated by the slap received in Munich, which marked the spirits to the summit of the club. He is leaving for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
With Inzaghi, it is an important page in the recent history of Inter turning. The club is now entering a strategic transition phase, determined to open a new chapter up to its national and continental ambitions. Between the aging executives to be renewed, young people to integrate permanently, and the World Cup of clubs looming, management wants to stimulate a clear and assumed change. The choice of the future coach, far from harmless, will be the first stone of this new project. And in this context, the search for a profile capable of building over time and instilling a new dynamic – like Patrick Vieira – makes sense.
Patrick Vieira appeals internally
While Inter Milan actively seeks the successor of Simone Inzaghi, the name of Patrick Vieira emerges as a serious option. Although Cesc Fàbregas is currently the favorite for the position, Vieira, with his successful experience in Genoa, is also considered by the Nerazzurra management according to Sky Italia. His passage to Genoa was marked by a notable transformation of the team, which went from the fight to maintain a comfortable position in the middle of the table. Under its direction, the Genoa adopted a 4-5-1 system, strengthening its defense and establishing an intense pressing, which made it possible to significantly reduce the number of goals conceded. This defensive improvement, combined with better offensive efficiency, allowed the club to move away from the relegation zone and to target more ambitious objectives. The ability of Vieira to revitalize the Genoa has not gone unnoticed, and its former player's profile of inter added an additional dimension to his candidacy.
His experience in Serie A, his knowledge of Italian football and his ability to make the most of his players make him a credible choice to take the reins of Inter. While the Milanese club is about to participate in the Club World Cup, the appointment of a coach capable of maintaining the high performance level is crucial. Vieira, with his recent care at Genoa, could well be the man of the situation to guide Inter in this new era. If Inter Milan has not yet decided, Patrick Vieira's candidacy takes a little more consistency every day. A former house, respected in the locker room and now recognized for its ability to build solid projects, French embodies an option that is both rational and ambitious. At a time when the pretenders are multiplying, it is perhaps in Genoa that the future of the Nerazzurri has discreetly drawn.
