Inter Milan Plans Cristian Chivu Coaching Appointment After Fabregas Rejected

Inter Milan has decided to appoint Cristian Chivu as their new head coach following the departure of Simone Inzaghi to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. After failing to secure Cesc Fabregas, who was firmly rejected by Como's president, and considering Patrick Vieira as an alternative, Inter turned to Chivu, a former Inter player and current Parma manager. Chivu, who previously coached Inter's youth teams and led Parma to safety in Serie A, is expected to sign a two-year contract extending until June 2027. Inter's chief executive Piero Ausilio is set to finalize the details of Chivu's appointment ahead of the club's Club World Cup campaign starting June 17. The club is moving swiftly to formalize the deal, aiming for Chivu to take charge before the tournament. This appointment marks a return for Chivu to the Nerazzurri, where he was part of the historic Treble-winning team in 2010.
