AC Milan Legend Costacurta Backs Cristian Chivu: ‘He Has The Qualities To Be Successful, He's Ready For Inter Milan'
AC Milan Legend Costacurta Backs Cristian Chivu: 'He Has The Qualities To Be Successful, He's Ready For Inter Milan' Legendary former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta feels that Cristian Chivu is ready to be Inter Milan coach. Speaking to Romanian newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor, via FCInter1908, the former Italian international argued that Chivu has 'all the qualities to be successful.' Advertisement Cristian Chivu became Inter Milan coach last month. The 44-year-old took over from Simone Inzaghi following the previous coach's decision to accept a massive money offer from Al-Hilal rather than remain coaching at a high level in Europe. Chivu came in with just thirteen matches of senior coaching experience under his belt. All of these came at Parma last season, as he kept the Gialloblu up in Serie A. However, Inter based their faith in Chivu not just on his work at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The Romanian had also coached Inter at various youth team levels, including their Primavera side for three years.

Costacurta even made the bold prediction that 'it could be an extraordinary season for him at Inter.' ''It's a great opportunity for him,' the former defender concluded.
