Before being brought in the summer from Parma as a replacement for Simone Inzaghi (49 years old), who left for Al-Hilal, Cristi Chivu (45 years old) trained as a coach for Inter’s children and juniors, after wearing the Nerazzurri jersey for seven seasons (2007-2014), being transferred from AS Roma for the sum of 16 million euros. With Inter U19, Chivu took the title and participated in the Youth League, the Youth Champions League.
The Romanian is highly appreciated by the former boss of the Milanese Massimo Moratti (80 years old), the owner of a fortune of 1.9 billion dollars, especially after Inter managed to win the Champions League in 2010. Currently, Inter is the leader in Serie A, over AC Milan and over the champion Napoli.
In the press from the Peninsula, Moratti had words of appreciation for the technician from Resisi.”Personally, I never had any doubts. Chivu may have been a gamble, but we can say that so far it has been a perfect fit. And then we had Cristian as a footballer. He was excellent on the field and extremely helpful to the coach. But he always had special human qualities. Bravissimo! It is very good. And he is a special guy. I spoke to him, but not about his match against Napoli. He did a good job at Parma!“, confessed Moratti.
“Chivu was not only an excellent footballer and now a good coach. For me, he is a man of enormous depth, of extraordinary culture, able to combine intelligence and sensitivity in an unusual way. And then we sometimes smoke a cigarette together, which is another reason why I get on so well with himMoratti added.
Cristian Chivu confessed that smoking is his great vice. He says that he also smoked in the national team, the moments in which he was ashamed were those in which he was a roommate with Gică Hagi (60 years old).
