Overview
- Cristian Chivu signed a one-year extension on Thursday that pushes his Inter deal to the summer of 2028.
- The renewal follows a breakthrough first full season in which Chivu led Inter to the Serie A title and Coppa Italia and was named Serie A Coach of the Season.
- Chivu managed 58 games across all competitions in 2025–26, winning 38 with a 65.5% win rate as the team scored 89 goals en route to the double.
- The appointment reversed early scepticism about his limited senior experience after a short 13-game spell at Parma and reflects his long coaching pathway through Inter’s youth ranks.
- Italian media report the contract includes a near-€3 million net annual pay rise and the club says the deal aims to provide stability for title defence and planning to strengthen European performance next season.
