Inter Milan Have Complete Confidence In Head Coach Cristian Chivu As Club Prepare Contract Renewal | OneFootball

Cristian Chivu and his position at Inter Milan has never been stronger and the derby defeat to AC Milan has done nothing to change that.

Gazzetta dello Sport report, via FCInterNews, that the club have retained complete faith in their head coach.

And, indeed, the club are preparing to open contract renewal discussions, with his current deal running until June 2027.

“The present is already the future, even regardless of how the season ends,” Gazzetta write.

Short of a collapse that jeopardises both the Scudetto and Inter’s pursuit of a record tenth Coppa Italia, Chivu will be in the dugout next season.

“Chivu is considered a winning bet in every respect.”

Inter Milan Have Complete Faith In Chivu

His standing within the club is “more solid than ever,” and considerably more solid than that of several players.

Gazzetta note that no one at Appiano Gentile can feel entirely comfortable about their future from this point on.

Chivu is so relaxed about the overall picture that he has already begun planning discussions with directors for the summer.

It is a clear sign of mutual trust between coach and board.

Triplete heroes Diego Milito and Walter Samuel visited Inter’s headquarters on Friday, adding their own endorsement of their former teammate.

On matchday logistics, Inter’s decision to sleep at Appiano Gentile had nothing to do with any post-derby crisis.

The 15:00 kick-off simply demanded a tight schedule.

Chivu’s message to his players has been straightforward, forget Sunday, remember the fourteen wins and one draw that built Inter’s lead.

The task is to find that form again.

A win today would also prevent handing Milan any extra emotional fuel ahead of their own fixture against Lazio on Sunday evening.
