The Romanian had a lot of work. He managed to turn the team around by setting clear short-term goals, which he met, to the dismay of his naysayers. Cristi Chivu’s arrival at Inter was considered by many a risky bet.
The officials did not think twice and proposed the extension of the collaboration to the technician. Thus, Chivu was invited to a negotiation session by president Giuseppe Marotta, which lasted no less than four hours, according to the Italians from Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It was a busy afternoon for Cristian Chivu at Inter’s club headquarters on Via della Liberazione, where the Nerazzurri coach spent around four hours with the management. This was a crucial meeting to finalize the final details of his contract extension, an agreement that had in reality already been reached for some time. All that remains now is the official confirmation of the extension of the deal until 2028, with an option for another season.
The formal announcement is expected very soon: President Giuseppe Marotta will most likely make it tomorrow in Parma during the Serie A Festival. The meeting was not only to secure the financial agreement, but was also an opportunity to plan the club’s next strategic moves.
