Report – Inter Milan Set To Double Cristian Chivu’s Wages To Extend His Contract | OneFootball

Runaway Serie A leaders Inter Milan are reportedly looking to tie high-performing manager Cristian Chivu down to a new contract.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the San Siro giants are ready to double the 45-year-old’s salary.

Cristian Chivu returned to Giuseppe Meazza in a coaching capacity last summer to replace Simone Inzaghi, who took charge of Al-Hilal.

Despite lacking experience in top-flight management, Chivu has done remarkable job in his first season at the club.

Indeed, the Romanian tactician is close to becoming only the fourth manager in Serie A history to win the Scudetto before turning 50.

With only six games left to play, Chivu’s charges boast a handsome nine-point lead over second-placed Napoli.

Therefore, it’s fair to say that the 21st Scudetto is virtually a foregone conclusion.

Meanwhile, Chivu’s contract at San Siro runs until 2027, while he currently earns around €2.5 million net per season.

However, Inter are looking to reward their manager with a bumper new deal.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri are ready to increase Chivu’s annual wages to around €5 million.

Furthermore, it would put the former Parma coach on a par with Massimiliano Allegri and Gian Piero Gasperini.
