Inter Milan target Giraudo, Capello in overhaul


A massive management shake-up at Inter Milan is being mooted.
Patron Massimo Moratti is ready to stand aside and allow Inter vice-president Marco Tronchetti Provera to takeover the running of the club.

If he does take charge, Tronchetti Provera will move for Juventus director Antonio Giraudo and offer him the chance to establish Inter as a global brand. Frustrated by his role at Juve, Giraudo may jump at the chance to challenge the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid in building the global awareness of Inter.
If Giraudo can be persuaded, Inter will also attempt to bring Juve coach Fabio Capello back to Milan. Like Giraudo, Capello is disappointed by the way he's been treated by Juve fans and some high-ranking club officials - particularly after their Champions League defeat to Arsenal.
The changes won't end there, however, with former Roma director general Franco Baldini offered the chance to return to football.
Moratti has been in talks with Baldini this month and Inter are willing to give him full control of transfers and also the club's junior system.
It's also emerged this morning that Juventus director general Luciano Moggi met with Tronchetti Provera yesterday.
