Inter Milan join Wolves’ interest in Vitor Pereira.

Inter Milan have added former Porto boss Vitor Pereira to their shortlist for the vacant manager’s job, according to GianlucadiMarzio.com.

The Serie A side fired manager Frank de Boer this week, who was appointed in the summer after Roberto Mancini was dismissed.

Inter’s interest in Pereira makes it a lot harder for Championship side Wolves to land his services, following their reported desire to appoint him.

Wolves fired Italian boss Walter Zenga, and Portuguese newspaper O Jogo reported they were keen on appointing Pereira.

It would be an ambitious move, but with agent Jorge Mendes closely tied to Wolves owners Fosun International, it would not be out of the question, with several surprise transfer moves concluded in the summer.

Inter’s interest though makes it a lot tougher to hire the out of work boss, who left Fenerbahce in August after a season in Turkey.

Pereira won two league titles with Porto and one with Olympiakos in Greece just two years ago.
