When Champions League finalist Inter did not get Cesc Fabregas as new coach, the Milan club chose a completely blank slate – Christian Chivu.
The former Romanian national team defender, who played for Inter and was a coach for the club's youth team, began his coaching career on the senior side just a few months ago, in Parma.
Chivu replaces Simone Inzaghi who is leaving Inter for Saudi al-Hilal.
Chivu has signed for two years. He gets a flying start with the club's World Championship where Inter starts on June 21 against Urawa Reds.
