Soccer: Chivu Becomes Inter Head Coach
Milan: Ex Parma boss Cristian Chivu on Monday signed a two-year contract as new Inter Milan manager replacing Simone Inzaghi, who quit to take over Saudi club Al Hilal following the Nerazzurri’s 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.
According to Ansa News Agency, Chivu, a 44-year-old former defender, was part of Inter’s Champions League-Serie A-Italian Cup treble-winning team in the 2009-10 campaign. He also won two other Serie A titles and another Italian Cup during his 2007-2014 stint with the club as a player, as well as the 2010 Club World Cup.
He started his career as a coach with Inter’s academy in 2018 before taking charge of Parma in February, his first job as a senior head coach, and leading them to Serie A safety. Inter announced, “FC Internazionale Milano welcomes Cristian Chivu as the new First Team Coach. The coach has signed a contract with the Nerazzurri Club until June 30, 2027”.
