Inter Milan are back on track in Serie A under Cristian Chivu, who the Italian media claim has chosen realism over radical change.
The coach has steadied results by blending aggression with continuity, keeping much of Simone Inzaghi’s structure intact.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908, highlight how Chivu has been “realistic, not visionary.”
The newspaper add that his balance is helping the Nerazzurri find consistency.
Coach Chivu Tries Pragmatic Approach At Inter Milan

Rather than overhaul the team’s tactical identity, Chivu adjusted details.
He pushed the side to be more aggressive while maintaining familiar principles.
This pragmatic style has allowed the squad to build momentum without the disruption of a complete reset.
Key players have benefited most.
Hakan Calhanoglu has regained influence after summer tensions.
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have kept scoring, while Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco look renewed in spirit.
With the group responding positively, Chivu has revived the core of Inter and positioned them to fight across Serie A and Champions League.
I don’t know if he really adjusted how lauti plays or not, but it’s effective now as he doesn’t drop too deep. I believe season under inzaghi thuram scored more when he was on the left. I can’t judge chivu yet, everyone says it’s now chivu’s inter, but for me I still see inzaghi’s inter except no more recycling balls at the back for too long. I wanna see more opponents play like when lost to udinese and rube where we got pressed real hard and opponents made every single action count, but for someone who only managed small club for few matches, never managed in big stage such CL and came to unmotivated club with problems here and there, chivu truly deserve a praise so far
