Chivu Announcement Delayed By Parma Contract

Cristian Chivu has signed the two-year contract to become the new coach of Inter, but there will probably not be a formal announcement until next week.

The Romanian was spotted entering the club headquarters this morning, then President Beppe Marotta left three hours later.

He put pen to paper on the two-year deal, believed to be worth €2.5m per season plus bonuses.

Chivu has signed the Inter contract
According to Calciomercato.com, there is no need to wait for a statement today or even over the weekend.

The reason is that Chivu is still technically under contract with Parma, having taken over that role on February 18, and needs to finalise that paperwork first.

He oversaw three wins, seven draws and three defeats in Serie A, which proved enough to escape relegation on the final day of the season.

Chivu is still expected to hold his first training session at the Appiano Gentile ground on Monday, as preparations begin for the Club World Cup in the USA.

He is no stranger to the complex, having been a player there from 2007 to 2014, then working as a coach in their youth academy from 2018 to 2024.
