Zola 'in Inter frame'

Leonardo left the Serie A giants after just half a season to become Paris-Saint-Germain's sporting director, prompting a search for a new boss at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Zola's name appears to have entered the frame after Marcelo Bielsa, Sinisa Mihajlovic and Andre Villas-Boas all turned the job down.

"At the moment we have not received any phone call, but rumours of Inter's interest in Zola do have foundation," agent Fulvio Marruocco told Il Sussidiario.

"We can say that Inter took the Zola option into consideration after the problems they have had in finding a new coach.

"Gianfranco is flattered and would certainly say yes."

Zola has never coached in his home country, and has been without work since leaving West Ham at the end of last season.
