Inter contact Laurent Blanc

By Football Italia staff

Inter have started talks with former Paris Saint-Germain Coach Laurent Blanc, it’s reported, as Frank de Boer is hanging by a thread.

Despite beating Southampton 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, the performance did little to instil confidence in the club hierarchy.

According to Tuttosport, De Boer is still on the chopping block and the next few games will be decisive.

Now Calciomercatoweb.it claim Inter have already contacted Blanc to see if he’s available to take over the San Siro bench.

Blanc is no stranger to the Nerazzurri, having played with the team from 1999 to 2001.

As a Coach he worked with Bordeaux, the France national team and Paris Saint-Germain.

He left PSG over the summer and is waiting to see if there are interesting opportunities on the horizon.

The only issue here, notes the report, is that Blanc would demand a long-term contract and not simply accept the job of seeing out the season.

This could be a problem, as Inter hope to line up Diego Simeone when his contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2018.
