Inter Milan has officially confirmed the appointment of Romanian coach Cristian Chivu as their new head coach, marking a significant shift in the club’s management structure. This decision follows the resignation of Simone Inzaghi, who left his position after the Italian side’s 5-0 Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The loss, which occurred during the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League campaign, was a major setback for the club, prompting a reevaluation of its coaching strategy.
Chivu, a former player for Inter Milan, brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously played for the club between 2009 and 2014. His appointment is seen as an attempt to reinvigorate the team’s performance, particularly in European competitions where the club has struggled in recent years. The two-year contract with Inter Milan is expected to provide stability as the club looks to rebuild its competitive edge in both domestic and international football.
The announcement was made on Monday, signaling a swift response to the recent loss. Club officials have expressed confidence in Chivu’s ability to lead the team through the transition period and achieve success in the upcoming seasons. The managerial change comes at a critical time for Inter Milan, as they aim to regain their place among Europe’s elite clubs and secure a strong position in the domestic league.
