Inter Milan is opening a new chapter by naming Cristian Chivu as the head coach. After a tough Champions League final against PSG, the club is betting on fresh energy and innovative tactics to turn their fortunes around.
At 44, Chivu may be a novice in top-flight management, but he brings invaluable experience. The former Romania defender, who won three Serie A titles and the 2010 Champions League as a player, signed a contract until June 30, 2027, reportedly earning 2.5 million euros per season.
Chivu’s recent success with Parma, where he guided the team to Serie A safety in his first coaching role, has impressed many. His history with Inter – including 169 appearances over six seasons and being part of a legendary treble-winning squad – makes his appointment a daring yet hopeful gamble.
The real test comes next week at the Club World Cup, when Inter takes on Monterrey at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. With memories of a heavy defeat still fresh, all eyes are on Chivu to see if he can spark a turnaround and lead Inter back to glory.
As the Inzaghi era comes to an end, fans and young football enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation over this bold new move. The blend of veteran insight and fresh ambition might just be the catalyst the club needs for a bright, dynamic future. ⚽️🔥
