It is also a risky decision for him to manage Inter. Because Inter has competed very well in the Champions League in recent years and has won the Italian league many times. Their expectations are much higher than any other team. Their players are quality and this year they lost the Champions League championship and the Italian league in the last matches. I can say that they had a successful year in general, they were only bad in the final matches. If Chivu can solve this, he can build his career very well, but if he shows an unusually bad performance with Inter, I do not think he will be able to stay in the team until the end of the season.
Chivu had many years as a player of Inter Milan and this brave decision to take a head position there is likely because of his love for Inter Milan. The club needs him and he felt like he can not refuse this calling from Inter Milan while it is undoubtedly a very big challenge for Chivu. His decision is like Andrea Pirlo with Juventus, De Rossi with Roma years ago and surely only time can help us knowing how Chivu does his management for Inter Milan.
Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez succeeded with Barcelona, so did Zidane with Real Madrid, hence Chivu has kind of probability of success with Inter Milan. Both the club and the young coach already made their decisions to work with each other for a common interest of the club, I wish best for them in a next season.
