Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed to TuttoMercatoWeb that Cristian Chivu will be the new head coach of the Inter Milan.
- We are very happy with this coexistence, we are proud of this choice. I want to deny the rumors about budget cuts, these conditions must be rejected. Inter must strive to achieve the maximum every time it participates in competitions, we are aware of this. We know that the team is strong, it will be led by a young, brave coach. The club was equally brave in choosing him.
- What went wrong with Fabregas?
- Nothing, because we never spoke to him. We just asked Como if we could find out about his availability. Like in the business world, a coach is like a CEO. We asked about it, but it was impossible. Kivu is not the second choice, he is not a backup option, he is simply the one we chose later.
- Did Inzaghi's farewell surprise you?
- There is such unpredictability in the world of football, not only on the pitch. Inzaghi's decision was partly predictable, we tried our best to convince him, but it was impossible, so at this stage it was right that we parted ways. He has started a new experience, we can only thank him for the excellent work he has done, we are optimistic, we are Inter. We have shown courage in our new choice and are determined to give the fans other wonderful evenings.
- Bonny and Goylund are the players you want.
"We, in particular Ausilio and Baccin (the sporting director and his deputy - ed.), have been working on possible changes for months. We know that it is the attacking line that is under close attention. The names you mentioned could complete the list of other candidates with whom negotiations will be held," Marotta said.
