Cristian Chivu expected to take over as coach of Inter Milan after ending Parma contract

By Canadian Press on June 9, 2025.

PARMA, Italy (AP) — Parma has reached agreement with coach Cristian Chivu to terminate his contract, the club said on Monday.

The 44-year-old is now expected to join Inter Milan to replace Simone Inzaghi, who took over as coach of Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal on Wednesday.

The Serie A team thanked Chivu for “all of his work and for reaching our sporting objective, while wishing him all the best in his career in the future.”

Parma hired Chivu in February with the side 18th in the 20-team Serie A. It went on to avoid relegation by finishing 16th.
