Inter Milan Boss Cristian Chivu Set To Replicate Fabio Capello Feat In Debut Serie A Season At San Siro | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu looks set to follow in the footsteps of legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is inches away from replicating Capello’s historic success from the early 1990s.

Cristian Chivu is on the brink of a massive success in his first full season in charge of a Serie A club.

Indeed, the Romanian tactician replaced Simone Inzaghi at the helm last summer, having overseen only a handful of Serie A games at Parma in 2024/25.

Despite lacking experience in senior management, Chivu has enjoyed a superb maiden season at San Siro.

Fabio Capello won the Serie A title in his first full season in charge of AC Milan back in 1991/92.

Now, more than three decades later, Chivu is on course to achieve the same feat with Inter.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri sit nine points clear of second-placed Napoli following a 4-3 win at Como on Sunday.

With only six games left to play, the San Siro giants are in a commanding position to close out the title race.

Furthermore, Chivu could win the title only 12 months after Napoli pipped Inzaghi’s side to the Scudetto in heartbreaking fashion.
