Inter Milan Appoints Cristian Chivu as Head Coach

Signed through June 2027, the former Romania defender will lead Inter into next week’s Club World Cup opener in Pasadena.

Overview

  • Chivu will earn 2.5 million euros per season under a two-year contract with the San Siro club.
  • He replaces Simone Inzaghi, who left for Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after Inter’s 5-0 Champions League final defeat by PSG.
  • The 44-year-old’s sole senior coaching experience came at Parma, where he rescued the team from relegation following his February appointment.
  • Inter opted for Chivu after negotiations with Cesc Fabregas fell through, advancing him from youth coach to first-team manager.
  • His managerial debut arrives against Monterrey in the Club World Cup group stage at the Rose Bowl next week.
