πŸ”΅πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄ Inter Milan appoint Cristian Chivu as head coach until 2027



Inter Milan has officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as its new head coach, locking him into a two‑year contract through June 2027. The announcement marks the return of the Romanian defender-turned-coach to the Nerazzurri, following a highly successful period at Parma and a distinguished youth record at Inter .


Chivu, aged 44, is no stranger to San Siro. He donned the Inter jersey from 2007 to 2014, playing a vital role in their treble-winning season under JosΓ© Mourinho in 2009–10. After retiring in 2014, he embarked on a coaching career within Inter’s youth academy from 2018 to 2024, culminating in leading the Primavera side to a Scudetto in 2022 .


His first senior coaching role with Parma, which began in February 2025, showcased his talent for stabilizing struggling teams. Over 13 matches, Chivu guided Parma to safety β€” accruing 16 points and steering them clear of relegation, an outcome deemed impressive given the club’s precarious position .


Inter faced a difficult period, culminating in a 5–0 thrashing by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Simone Inzaghi resigned on 3 June 2025, leaving the club without a trophy last season despite previous successes in Serie A . Chivu’s appointment signals a strategic recalibration: youthful, defensive solidity paired with tactical continuity reminiscent of Inzaghi’s era .


Chivu will receive an annual base salary of approximately €2.5β€―million, with performance-related bonuses tied to club objectives .


His immediate challenges include spearheading a significant summer squad overhaulβ€”rumored to involve new signings like Rasmus HΓΈjlund and Nico Pazβ€”and focusing on youth promotion, including Paris‑trained Leoni, who thrived under Chivu at Parma . Moreover, Inter’s upcoming participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, starting 17 June in Los Angeles against Monterrey, followed by fixtures in Seattle, presents a first competitive test for Chivu’s leadership .


When asked about his vision, Inter’s president, Giuseppe Marotta, underlined the blend of β€œexpertise, planning, experience, and many other qualities” that Chivu bringsβ€”qualities deemed essential to the project’s success .


Chivu’s appointment isn’t only a nostalgic nod to his playing legacy but a decisive move toward a project blending defensive resilience, youth integration, and tactical progressionβ€”a chapter suitably titled β€œthe third Nerazzurri story.” Fans will be watching closely as he embarks on this ambitious journey, aiming to restore Inter’s place among Europe’s elite.
