MILAN (Reuters) -Telecom Italia's top investor Vivendi sees the current CEO of the former phone monopoly as a short-term solution given the company's problems, two sources close the French media giant said on Friday.

TIM Chief Executive Luigi Gubitosi survived a boardroom showdown on Thursday at a meeting sought by Vivendi following two profit warnings in three months, but the French group is still calling his role into question.
