After his spell at Parma, Chivu returns to the Nerazzurri to take charge of the first team until 2027

Cristian Chivu is officially the new head coach of Inter Milan. The club confirmed the appointment in a statement, announcing that the Romanian has signed a contract running through to 2027. Chivu, who turns 45 in October, wore the Inter jersey as a player from 2007 to 2014 and began his coaching journey with the club four years later.

His coaching career with the Nerazzurri began at youth level, starting with the Under-14s and gradually moving up through the Under-17 and Under-18 sides. In the summer of 2021, he took the reins of the Primavera team, leading them to the youth Scudetto in his first season — the club’s tenth at that level. He stepped away from Inter at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

In February 2025, Chivu was handed his first senior team opportunity, taking over at Parma with the club in a difficult position in Serie A. In just 13 matches, he collected 16 points and successfully steered the Gialloblù to safety.

Now, Chivu embarks on a new chapter at Inter — his third, after his playing and youth coaching stints — this time at the helm of the first team.
