Inter Milan Boss Cristian Chivu Sets Two Key Objectives To Wash Away Champions League “Shame” | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is desperate to atone for his disastrous managerial debut in the Champions League.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is hellbent on winning a domestic double after crashing out of Europe.

Bodo/Glimt halted Inter’s Champions League run in the playoff round.

As a result, the Nerazzurri will not feature in the Round of 16 for the first time since 2020/21.

However, Cristian Chivu is on the verge of winning the Serie A title in his first season at San Siro.

Sitting ten points clear of second-placed AC Milan, Inter are in pole position to lift their 21st Scudetto this term.

Indeed, with just 12 games left to play, the Rossoneri need a miracle to overthrow their arch-rivals.

Meanwhile, Inter will also face off against Como in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

It’s been 16 years since the Nerazzurri last won the domestic double, and this feels like the perfect chance to end that drought.
