The decision to sign Chivu as a new coach is showing how InterMilan feels so desperate in finding a good coach. I'd say this as a pure gamble by them. I know how him has been very loyal to them, but no guarantee he can perform even better than Inzaghi.
He never had a full season in serie a. I believe he's either going to get sacked at the mid season or help club to finish at the top 4, only if he can. I have no confidence over this sign.
I don't really know the credentials and pedigree of Chivu, I don't think his been a coach of any elite team before. I'm made to understand that his coached the Under teams of Inter Milan but never Inter Milan itself untill now. He was the coach of Parma and one might argue that he wasn't successful there because players there didn't meet the standards of top teams in the league. I still wonder why Inter Milan had to go for a coach that's not yet proven or do they want to give him the benefit of doubts! I'm just wondering.
