Inter Milan will appoint their former player and youth coach Cristian Chivu as manager to replace the recently departed Simone Inzaghi once details are worked out with his current club Parma, Inter president Giuseppe Marotta said on Friday.

Former Inter legend and 2010 Champions League winner Christian Chivu is set to be appointed as the new coach of the Italian club after the Nerazzurri parted ways with Simone Inzaghi, who joined Saudi side Al-Hilal on Wednesday.

Simone Inzaghi took over as head coach of Al-Hilal a day after leaving Inter Milan and two weeks before the Saudi Arabian club’s first game at the Club World Cup.
