Official – Cristian Chivu Leaves Parma Ahead Of Inter Milan Appointment | OneFootball

Parma have confirmed the termination of the contract of coach Cristian Chivu ahead of his expected appointment at Inter Milan.

The Emilian club announced the 44-year-old’s departure in a post on their official Twitter account.

Today is the day. Inter Milan are set to make the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach official.

The 44-year-old will replace Simone Inzaghi, who has left to join Al-Hilal.

Inter had been working on snapping up Cesc Fabregas to become Inzaghi’s successor.

However, Como President Mirwan Suwarson strongly rebuffed the Nerazzurri’s interest, and stated that the Lariani would refuse to release the Spaniard.

Meanwhile, Genoa coach Patrick Vieira was another name reportedly on Inter’s shortlist.

Inter Milan have already all but officially confirmed that Chivu will be their new coach for a few days.

The Nerazzurri have been in discussions with the Romanian since Thursday. They’ve reportedly agreed a two-year deal with him, and have already been outlining plans for next season.

However, there has been no official confirmation as of yet.

That is because the Nerazzurri have been waiting on Chivu to officially end his association with Parma.

And now, the Gialloblu have confirmed that Chivu is no longer their coach.

The 44-year-old leaves after having been in charge of thirteen matches. There were three wins, seven draws, and three losses. These saw Parma stay in Serie A despite the threat of relegation.
