Christian Chivu will look to revamp the Inter Primavera side’s style of play to more closely resemble the methods associated with Ajax with the former Inter defender set to take over.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who report that the Romanian will bring changes in tactical approach when he replaces Armando Madonna as head coach of the Primavera.
Madonna looks set to depart from the Primavera team after three years in charge, and the Nerazzurri will look to Chivu to replace him after the Romanian has been involved in a coaching role at the club at various youth levels since 2018.
Part of the agenda for appointing the 40-year-old appears to be the ushering in of stylistic changes, with the club hoping that Chivu will be successful at bringing a proactive and progressive style of play to the team which serves as a showcase for the club’s best young talent.
Chivu is well-remembered for his treble-winning exploits with the Nerazzurri after joining from Roma in 2007, but he also spent four significant seasons at Ajax between 1999 and 2003, making 142 appearances in all competitions in that time, and the Nerazzurri will hope that he can draw from this experience as he stewards the young talents of the Primavera side.
