But that all changed after a spectacular season in which Inter won both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia. The team’s success quickly turned Chivu into one of the most respected coaches in Italian football.

Compared to Guardiola and Luis Enrique

The Italians praised the style of play built by the Romanian and the way in which he changed the appearance of the team in a very short time. Tuttosport journalists analyzed the tactics used by Chivu and noted how his players easily adapted on the field, controlled the pace of matches and quickly took advantage of opponents’ vulnerabilities.

After the successful season, the Italians ended up comparing the Romanian technician with famous coaches such as Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.

“As great coaches do, Guardiola and Luis Enrique above all, Chivu has cultivated a squad full of versatile players!”reported the press people from the Peninsula.

Chivu’s main goal for next season

After his success in the Italian competitions, Cristi Chivu is already thinking about the next season and Inter Milan’s big goal: winning the UEFA Champions League.

The Italian press writes that the Romanian coach wants to bring in a strong and aggressive midfielder who can control the team’s game. The player desired by Inter would be Manu Koné, currently registered at AS Roma.
