Inter Milan may have missed out on Cesc Fabregas as a player, but they’re now on the verge of bringing him in as their new head coach.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the San Siro heavyweights want the 38-year-old to take charge immediately.
Simone Inzaghi is part of Inter’s past as of yesterday.
Indeed, the Scudetto-winning manager has decided to leave his country for the riches of Saudi Arabia.
His departure has forced Beppe Marotta’s hand, with Cesc Fabregas on the cusp of becoming the new Inter boss.
However, whether he’ll be eligible to coach the team at the FIFA Club World Cup remains questionable.
Despite his outstanding first season at Como, Fabregas is in no possession of a FIFA Pro license.
As a result, he may be unavailable for Inter’s involvement in the upcoming international tournament.
Yet, there’s still a chance for Fabregas to make his touchline debut in North America.
Indeed, he must complete the course at Coverciano to obtain the Uefa Pro license right before the competition starts.
Otherwise, Inter would likely need to secure another season-long exemption.
