The shock defeat to Novara has cast the spotlight on Claudio Ranieri's job at Inter Milan. Sportmediaset says former Inter star Laurent Blanc is favourite for the post as president Massimo Moratti weighs up his options replacing Ranieri.

France coach Blanc will leave his job after the Euros and Moratti would love to bring him back to Inter.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is also under consideration, though president Aurelio de Laurentiis won't consider releasing him from his newly signed contract.

Free agent Guus Hiddink and Barcelona's Pep Guardiola have also been discussed. Interestingly, those close to Moratti say he is going cold on Guardiola as he believes it would take too long for the Spaniard to get Inter playing the way he wants - as AS Roma have suffered this season under Luis Enrique.
