Inter Milan President Confirms ‘We Will Keep The Core Of The Squad Together’ | OneFootball

Nerazzurri President Beppe Marotta says that Inter Milan will “keep the core of the squad together” next season.

The Nerazzurri spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach.

The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago.

On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira.

However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up.

Inter Milan President Beppe Marota explained the club’s intent for planning under the new coach. “The model is always the same,” he said.

“We want to keep the core of the team together,” he said. But then, there was a caveat.

“We plan to get younger. But we have the goal to continue what we’ve done in recent years.”

“That is to say: participate in competitions where we deserve to be, and try to win them.”

“Then if there is a team that’s better than us we’ll take our hats off to them,” Marotta said.

“But being up there is a privilege for very few clubs,” added the Inter President. “There are clubs that have never reached this point.”

“And there are teams like us that have reached big goals. We want to get back to those levels.”
