The planning is now. For many sports directors, it is already high time to think about the outlines of the project they must put in place for next season. Should we change coaches, which players should we sell, what is the recruitment priority, etc.? And on the Inter Milan side, the first reflection indeed concerns the coach, Cristian Chivu. The Romanian did relatively well for his first season on the sidelines, despite a succession considered difficult after the Simone Inzaghi era.
Aging squad, players at the end of their cycle, recruits little referenced for the Italian championship (Luis Henrique, Andy Diouf, Petar Sucic among others), the task did not look easy. Nothing was, but Inter still sits at the top of Serie A, nine points ahead of its runner-up Naples. However, the question remains among internal leaders: can Chivu breathe new life into the long term? The 5 defeats in the league and especially the humiliating elimination from the Champions League against Bodo/Glimt have insinuated doubt.
Inter Milan is just waiting for that
According to our information, Inter Milan would be ready to change coach if they managed to convince the one who makes them dream: Diego Simeone. This is the number 1 objective of the Nerazzurri leaders. Who were able to see in March the information of a moral agreement between Atlético and the Spanish coach for an additional year, until 2027, the date of the end of his contract (which has a one-year option to activate). That said, the first rumors of a possible departure had stirred up the Spanish press a few weeks earlier, with Inter as the destination.
Remember that Diego Simeone played for Inter between 1997 and 1999, winning a C3 and leaving a great memory there despite his departure for Lazio Rome. On the bench of Atlético since December 23, 2011, he has experienced everything, successes (two Spanish championship titles, two Europa Leagues, two Champions League finals) as well as failures. Still in the Champions League race after eliminating Barça, Simeone is obviously focused on the Colchoneros’ upcoming games. Could he give in to the internalist sirens this summer? To be continued.
