ANKARA

Cristian Chivu has been appointed the new head coach of Italian Serie A club Inter, the football team announced on its website Monday.

The Romanian coach has signed a contract with Inter that will run through June 30, 2027.

Inter announced on June 3 that they had parted ways with Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, who helped it win one Serie A title, two Italian Cups, and three Italian Super Cups, and led the Nerazzurri to the UEFA Champions League final twice, in 2023 and this May.

In the May 31 match for the Champions League crown, Paris Saint-Germain won in a devastating blowout, beating Inter 5-0.

Chivu, a former Inter player, recently served as Parma's head coach this February through June.
