Inter Milan are back on track in Serie A under Cristian Chivu, who the Italian media claim has chosen realism over radical change.

The coach has steadied results by blending aggression with continuity, keeping much of Simone Inzaghi’s structure intact.

La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908, highlight how Chivu has been “realistic, not visionary.”

The newspaper add that his balance is helping the Nerazzurri find consistency.

Rather than overhaul the team’s tactical identity, Chivu adjusted details.

He pushed the side to be more aggressive while maintaining familiar principles.

This pragmatic style has allowed the squad to build momentum without the disruption of a complete reset.

Key players have benefited most.

Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have kept scoring, while Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco look renewed in spirit.

With the group responding positively, Chivu has revived the core of Inter and positioned them to fight across Serie A and Champions League.
