Eusebio Di Francesco is widely reported to be the favourite leader of Cagliari next season.
Walter Zenga was hired on March 3 to replace Rolando Maran, but after three wins, four draws and five defeats.
Despite the optimism around Zenga staying, it is unlikely that he will remain on.
Di Francesco and Fabio Liverani are being considered, with the latter now doubtful too.
Liverani was the favorite, but it has been claimed that he hesitates to see if Lecce first manages to secure their Series A safety.
Last season he took the Salentini to the promotion, and on the final day he can still turn it around, but only if Lecce beat Parma and Genoa won’t win Hellas Verona.
Meanwhile, there was a positive meeting Friday between Di Francesco and President Tommaso Giulini, according to Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia.
The offer contract is similar to the deal that Di Francesco rejected from Deportivo Alaves, specifically a two-year deal worth 1.8 million euros per season.
Following Sampdoria’s rapid hiring and firing of Di Francesco, the former Roma and Sassuolo coach is eager to pick the right project for his football style.
