Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new head coach, with the Romanian signing a contract that will keep him at the club until June 2027. Chivu, a former Inter player, returns to the club after leaving his previous role at Parma. This move marks a homecoming for the ex-defender, who is set to take over the reins from Simone Inzaghi, who recently departed the Nerazzurri. The club wasted no time in securing Chivu’s services after parting ways with Inzaghi.
The decision to appoint Chivu came shortly after negotiations with Cesc Fàbregas fell through earlier in the day. Inter’s management moved quickly to finalize an agreement with Chivu, who impressed the club’s hierarchy with his vision and coaching philosophy. Known for his tactical acumen and connection to Inter’s heritage, Chivu is expected to bring a fresh approach while maintaining the club’s winning traditions and aspirations for both domestic and European competitions.
Chivu’s arrival has already generated excitement among Inter fans, eager to see the former defender’s impact on the squad. With a contract extending through the 2026-2027 season, the club is signaling a long-term project under his leadership. As preparations ramp up for the new season, all eyes will be on Chivu to see how he shapes the team and guides Inter back to the top of Italian and European football.
