Chivu, a former inter-defender and Primavera coach, has agreed the conditions with the Nerazzurri during a return to 2027. He succeeds Simone Inzaghi, who has been named Al-Hilal Coach this week.
The Romanian is not a contract in Parma at the end of the month, although Inter wants to negotiate a release with his club in the coming days, so that he can lead the team at the Club World Cup this month.
Ranocchia said to Dazn: “Cristian is the right man for Inter from a football and a human point of view. He is very intelligent, has his head on his shoulders, knows how to make a group and always makes himself loved.
“I hope that the chance to see him at the helm of Inter will come true. I think this is the right choice.”
Good Man-Management
Ranocchia also said: “When he coached Inter Primavera, he used the same tactical system as the first team and for this reason it would be the right profile to collect the legacy of Inzaghi's 3-5-2. Humanly Chivu is very intelligent.
“He had important coaches with whom he confronted himself as a player.
“These experiences can be very useful in a reconstruction phase, such as those with which Inter is likely to be confronted on the basis of the following movements of the club on the market and the arrival of some young people too.”
