Overview
- The club announced Thursday that Cristian Chivu has signed a new deal keeping him as Inter head coach until 2028.
- Italian outlets report the contract carries a €4 million annual salary and an option for 2029, details the club did not list in its communiqué.
- Chivu took charge on 9 June 2025, managed 58 matches this season and led Inter to the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia, earning Lega Serie A’s Coach of the Season for 2025/26.
- Despite domestic success, Inter failed to reach the Champions League group stage after being eliminated by Bodo Glimt, which the club identified as the primary area to address next season.
- The renewal underlines Inter’s preference for internal development—Chivu moved from the club’s youth setup and a short, successful spell at Parma to the first team—and signals continuity that could affect transfer planning and squad stability.
