"Cristian Chivu is preparing for his first Derby della Madonnina, having taken over Inter in the summer, and the pressure will definitely be on against AC Milan. Inter have started the season very well with 24 points after 11 games, currently sitting at the top of the standings. However, it could have been even better for the Nerazzurri if they had been stronger in the bigger games, losing against Juventus and Napoli."
"Following what was a disappointing 2024-25 season, failing to win a single trophy, Inter parted ways with Simone Inzaghi. It was the end of an era in many ways for the Nerazzurri who, instead of going for an experienced name, appointed Cristian Chivu as their new head coach. The Romanian had just guided Parma to safety in Serie A, hired by the Gialloblu in February to salvage the situation, and Inter were impressed with what they saw."
"The situation was also 'made better' by the fact that they kept a lot of their stars over the summer. Nicola Zalewski, Benjamin Pavard, Mehdi Taremi and Joaquin Correa were the most notable departures, which says a lot. Furthermore, the likes of Ange-Yoan Bonny, Luis Henrique, Andy Diouf, Petar Sucic and Manuel Akanji were brought in to strengthen the team."
Cristian Chivu is preparing for his first Derby della Madonnina after taking over Inter in the summer. Inter have 24 points from 11 games and sit top of the Serie A standings. Early-season struggles produced defeats to Juventus and Napoli, but recent results indicate improved form. The upcoming match at San Siro will test whether AC Milan and manager Massimiliano Allegri can interrupt Inter's momentum. Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi after a trophyless 2024-25 and earned his role after guiding Parma to safety and managing Inter's Primavera. Several players departed and multiple signings arrived to refresh the squad.
