The Scudetto is not yet certain, nor is the Champions League as Chivu reminded after Como, but at Inter they have no doubts about the Romanian coach. From the stage of the event “Il Foglio a San Siro”, president Marotta addressed various topics including the future of the coach: “He already has the contract, it is automatic that he will be confirmed. Basically, we are looking at a coach who fully matches the profile of the coach Inter was looking for and who still represents a great point of reference. Clearly, the only possible flaw he might have had was the lack of experience, due to his age and the fact that his career started only recently, but he is absolutely gaining this experience week after week. Everything else is extremely positive, so we are happy with the choice we made. He has clearly repaid it and today I believe he is one of the best emerging coaches around”. At the end of the season, therefore, Chivu’s contract is expected to be renewed and extended at least until 2028.
Marotta then responds to Chivu’s own joke about qualification for the Champions League not yet being officially secured: “That’s not mathematically certain either at the moment, but I think so (he laughs, ed.). The final in Munich? As Galliani says, reaching the final of a competition like the Champions League is a huge achievement. Then, of course, the night in Munich remains in everyone’s memory, because there is a great disappointment. You have to be able to put it aside and have a different dream. Today this dream is represented by an important goal that is close, and we want to achieve it, so let’s focus on that”.
