Cristian Chivu is about to renew his contract with Inter Milan
Cristian Chivu, after a challenging and successful year with Inter Milan, is about to extend his contract until 2028 with a salary increase of 3 million euros.
Cristian Chivu has had a challenging year as coach of Inter Milan, when a year ago he was on the team's coaching bench and participated in the FIFA Club World Cup with only 13 Serie A appearances for Parma. Amid many doubts, Chivu decided to join the Nerazzurri team at a difficult time. He did not hesitate to say "yes" when president Marotta called to invite him to take this position after Simone Inzaghi left.
Having an unfavorable start to the season with 2 defeats in the first 3 matches, Chivu was facing the possibility of being fired. However, the board of directors trusted him, showing wisdom in choosing who to lead the team. Up to now, with the Serie A trophy on his chest and a Coppa Italia in hand, Chivu has successfully completed his mission with his players.
Chivu not only works on the field, but also acts as a psychologist, helping the team recover mentally. He brought a breath of fresh air to the team's atmosphere, not with promises or sudden revolutions, but with small daily actions, gradually changing the mentality in the dressing room. He restored confidence to players who had shown signs of mental exhaustion, regaining team spirit and a sense of belonging.
Chivu knows how to listen to veteran players and encourage those who rarely play, creating a healthy competitive environment during training sessions. His credibility with the players is also a strong point, because he experienced pressure when he played for Inter and knows how to communicate with the team in difficult times.
Even in difficult times, Chivu maintains balance and radiates calm, protecting his students from criticism. He skillfully adapted and understood what was needed for a team that was hurting more mentally than physically. In the end, his efforts were rewarded with positive results.
Currently, Inter's board of directors is very satisfied with Chivu. They are preparing to reward him with a contract extension until 2028. Yesterday, his agent, Pietro Chiodi, was at the office to finalize the details, and Chivu's salary will go up to 3 million euros. The agreement will likely be signed today.
