Inter Milan Boss Cristian Chivu Sets Two Key Objectives To Wash Away Champions League “Shame”

Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu is desperate to atone for his disastrous managerial debut in the Champions League.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 45-year-old is hellbent on winning a domestic double after crashing out of Europe.

Bodo/Glimt halted Inter’s Champions League run in the playoff round.

As a result, the Nerazzurri will not feature in the Round of 16 for the first time since 2020/21.

However, Cristian Chivu is on the verge of winning the Serie A title in his first season at San Siro.

Sitting ten points clear of second-placed AC Milan, Inter are in pole position to lift their 21st Scudetto this term.

Indeed, with just 12 games left to play, the Rossoneri need a miracle to overthrow their arch-rivals.

Meanwhile, Inter will also face off against Como in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

It’s been 16 years since the Nerazzurri last won the domestic double, and this feels like the perfect chance to end that drought.
