**Simone Inzaghi’s departure immediately forced Inter** to search for his replacement, given the imminent **Club World Cup** in the United States. After an unsuccessful attempt to hire Cesc Fabregas, the management turned decisively towards Cristian Chivu.

While awaiting official confirmation, let’s take a closer look at the **qualities** and **coaching style** of the Romanian manager. Chivu has a very brief managerial career so far, but he has a deep connection with the whole Nerazzurri environment.

## Chivu at Inter

Born on October 26, 1980, he ended his playing career wearing the Inter shirt in the 2013/2014 season. Among the **heroes of the Treble**, he started in the Champions League final in 2010 against Bayern Munich. Chivu wore the Inter shirt for **7 seasons**, having arrived in the summer of 2007. In total, he made **169 appearances**.

After hanging up his boots, he continued his coaching path with Inter, starting with the youth teams and eventually **coaching the Primavera Under-19**. Inter was looking for a **young profile** but someone able to provide continuity. **Chivu’s deep knowledge of the Nerazzurri environment** could be one of the reasons the management decided to bet on him.

## Chivu’s Career

Cristian Chivu’s coaching career **began in 2018 in Inter’s youth system**. In 2021, he moved up to take charge of the Primavera, **winning the league in his first year**. Although he wasn’t able to repeat that success in the next two years, **several academy talents have found space under him**.

His first, and so far only, experience as a professional head coach were the **13 matches as Parma’s manager** this season. Chivu secured survival in the final matchday, thanks to **3 wins, 7 draws, and 3 defeats**. His results against the league’s top teams were impressive: he remained unbeaten, in fact, against **Inter, Fiorentina, Lazio, Napoli, Atalanta, Juventus**, and **Bologna**, even beating the last three.

## Chivu’s Tactical System and Ideas

Given his limited experience, it’s difficult to immediately draw a precise and definitive picture of Cristian Chivu’s characteristics. At Parma, he abandoned the back four after the first few games and switched to a **more solid 3-5-2**, which allowed him to achieve important results.

It’s almost certain that at Inter, **he will start again from this tactical setup** which he also used on occasion with the Primavera. In Emilia, Chivu worked extensively on his team’s **defensive solidity**, organizing a side that was **very athletic and aggressive in pressing**.

Some things will necessarily have to change at Inter. The wing-backs, who acted as extra defenders at Parma, **will need to become more attacking**, and **the attacking play will have to be more elaborate**, with greater development of build-up from the back—a hallmark of Inzaghi’s Inter side.
