At the beginning of this season, the European vice-champion surprised when they hired Cristi Chivu, considering the experience of only 13 stages at the senior level of the coach from Reșita. After saving Parma from relegation, the Romanian took a huge step, on the bench of Inter Milan, who offered him a contract until 2027, remunerated with 2.5 million euros per season. Now, after Chivu has made a name for himself as a coach as well, Inter have offered to extend his deal, for fear of losing him. Cristi has a new contract on the table, until June 30, 2029, with an extra million euros in salary.

Cristi Chivu took over a devastated team

“Cristian Chivu will extend his contract with the Nerazzurri until June 30, 2029. The current agreement is valid until the summer of 2027, but the club's bosses have put a new contract on the table for him, with a salary increase. The management is delighted with the excellent work the Romanian is doing and the obvious progress from match to match and has proposed a new agreement.

The Romanian was named coach of the month in Italy in December 2025 and January 2026

In addition to the new contract, valid until 2029, his salary, currently 2.5 million euros per year, will increase to 3.5 million euros per season, plus bonuses. The Chiefs credit Chivu with rebuilding the squad, which was devastated after last season. For the owners, the management, the players and even the fans, only a real coach can do that.” wrote those from tuttomercatoweb.com.
