Former Inter defender Cristian Chivu replaces Simone Inzaghi as the club’s head coach, marking a proud moment for Romanian football just a week after the Champions League final.

Cristian Chivu has officially been appointed as the new head coach of Inter Milan, a significant moment for both the Italian giants and Romanian football.

Chivu, who was managing Parma since February, returns to Inter — the club where he spent seven seasons as a player and won the historic treble in 2010 under Jose Mourinho. A beloved figure at San Siro, Chivu ended his playing career at the club in 2014 and later transitioned into coaching within Inter’s youth academy.

His appointment follows the departure of Simone Inzaghi, who left for a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia shortly after guiding Inter to the Champions League final. Inter moved swiftly to secure Chivu, signing him on a two-year contract.

Chivu’s promotion marks a historic achievement for Romanian football, as one of its most celebrated players now takes charge of one of Europe’s most prestigious clubs. His deep understanding of Inter’s culture, values, and expectations could prove crucial as the club prepares for another demanding season domestically and in Europe.
