Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu underlined his tactical acumen as his side secured a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Lazio last night.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the 45-year-old proved his managerial credentials in a high-stakes game at San Siro.

Cristian Chivu has enjoyed a phenomenal start to life at Giuseppe Meazza upon his return as a manager.

Indeed, the former defender has guided the Nerazzurri to all four wins in the Champions League this season.

Furthermore, yesterday’s win saw them join Roma at the top of the Serie A table.

Three points against Lazio were imperative after Inter lost two high-profile league games earlier in the season.

Indeed, Chivu’s only Serie A defeats in charge of the Nerazzurri came against direct title rivals Juventus and Napoli.

Therefore, yesterday’s success demonstrated the Romanian’s tactical flexibility and mental resilience.

Hopefully, Chivu will continue in the same vein when Inter take on AC Milan immediately after the international break.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez lent a helping hand, breaking the deadlock in the third minute for his fourth league goal of the season.
