Cristian Chivu is rapidly shaping his Inter Milan regime, emphasizing hard work and transparency as twin pillars of his tenure. 

According to Corriere della Sera via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old’s managerial career at San Siro is gaining momentum.

Inter welcomed the international break as Serie A’s joint pacesetters, alongside Roma, with a mere goal difference separating the sides.

However, Chivu’s men have been far more convincing than their rivals, bagging a stunning 26 goals in the first 11 rounds.

Furthermore, the San Siro giants have tallied 11 goals across four Champions League wins under the Romanian coach.

Inter have averaged 2.5 goals since the appointment of Cristian Chivu in June.

Indeed, they’ve reached this figure despite being prematurely eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup in the summer. 

Chivu’s intense training sessions have started producing results, with Inter winning 11 of their last 12 games in all competitions.

Therefore, it’s barely surprising that the former defender has earned broad plaudits for his early work at San Siro.
