Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu has performed much better than his Juventus counterpart, Luciano Spalletti, this season. 

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old has outshone the former Scudetto winner, who took charge of the Bianconeri in late October.

The Nerazzurri will take on the record-time Serie A giants in a mouth-watering league clash on Saturday.

Furthermore, the San Siro heavyweights head into proceedings as the pacesetters, boasting a 12-point lead over their arch-rivals in fourth.

Inter sat three points clear of Juventus at the time of Spalletti’s appointment.

However, Cristian Chivu has since guided his side to an eye-catching 11 wins in their next 12 league outings.

As a result, the runaway Serie A leaders have steered 12 points clear of Juventus, even though Spalletti has only lost two top-flight games since replacing Igor Tudor.

Despite that decent record, Juventus are sitting level on points with fifth-placed Roma.

Therefore, they can ill-afford a slip-up on Saturday if they’re to bolster their top-four hopes.
