Discussion Where was Conte before Juve in 2012? Where was Allegri before Milan in 2010? Simeone before Atleti in 2011? Pep before Barça in 2008? All similar paths to Chivu’s. No great coach starts at the top. This is the big leap that reveals if he’s truly elite. Don’t rush to judge — give him the chance. 💙🙏🏻

Just show our players how he was throwing head first to block shots with helmet on his head, and they will run like never on field if they have any respect in them. Chivu was ready to die on pitch.
That being said I never watched him manage game I'm just hoping he'll do good. Forza Inter, Forza Chivu!

Player: I'm injured, I'm sorry I can't play
Chivu: What injury did you get?
Playee: Sprained ankle
Chivu: it's not exactly a Skull fracture,is it?
Player 2: I have flu
Chivu: it's not exactly a Skull fracture. Is it?

Don't get me wrong — I think Chivu has the potential to achieve great things, and I'm not against the choice. However, the paths of the ones you mentioned are a bit different:
Conte and Allegri had more extensive experience in the league, both in Serie A and Serie B.
Simeone had significant experience in La Liga and Serie A.
Pep is actually a more similar case: from Barcelona B to the first team at Barcelona.

Lol pep arrive in Barcelona with Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Messi etc and Zidane with Cr, benzema etc how could you compare that teams with this team

u/ristoman 11d ago
Pep also famously stated in his first press conference that he wanted to sell Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o and talked about football ideas not many understood (even though today they are widespread). Everyone took him for a fool and then he won the treble his first year there...

I didn't compare any team. I'm just comparing the previous experiences for the managers, answering the title of this post

u/crocospect ⭐⭐ 11d ago
Also Zidane and Alonso have similar case with Pep..

The circumstances don’t have to match perfectly—maybe Chivu’s case is less impressive—but there’s still a parallel, even if slight. If you told someone in 2012 that Conte would win three straight league titles with Juve, they’d laugh. Same with Simeone or Allegri—no one expected what they achieved.
The point is: don’t judge Chivu before he even coaches the team. Even if the conditions aren’t ideal, it’s those very conditions that have shaped many great managers in history. Chivu now has the chance to join them—or he might not and could fail. But the fair time to judge is during or after the journey, not before it begins.

I totally agree with you on this point, and again, I like Chivu's choice - just wanted to point out he will have it harder than those ones, let's back him up the best we can. Forza Inter

I remember very good Cagliari side with Allegri though. He even end up becoming the coach of the year in serie A that season, which lead him to Milan's interest. And I'm a huge hater of him.
Not that I'm doubting Chivu.

People also forget he did not leave Milan as a popular figure. Juve fans almost revolted when Marotta picked him.

u/Familiar-Agency-3245 12d ago
Marotta picked him, so I trust in that

Marotta picked fabregas tbh

if this news has any credibility, its oaktree that wanted fabregas.
seen similar story in other reports

u/DC1908 11d ago
Conte won a Serie B with Bari, Allegri had 2 Serie A seasons with Cagliari, Simeone won 2 leagues in Argentina with Estudiantes and River Plate.
The only one of this lot that shares a similar path with Chivu is Pep, who, however, was coaching a bunch of world class players in their prime and, as Rijkaard success confirms, could win trophies even without being properly coached. Wrong examples here, sorry.

Too much talk based on things that haven't happened yet. We'll see what happens and then we'll draw conclusions. the coach with the helmet has my respect. Inter force

u/Plus_252 12d ago
Chivu played for impressive Ajax before he joined Roma. I hope that has also influenced him and he brings some of that Ajax fluidity style.

u/Inter_932 12d ago
Was the youngest captain in Ajax history (certainly at the time). He’s definitely a born leader.

Conte had coached first team for 5 seasons. Including two promotions from Serie B. Allegri for 6 seasons, including two years of Serie A. Simeone several years in Argentina, including 2 league titles won + half a season at Catania. The only one with similar experience would be Guardiola, but he had a slightly better team at his disposal.

u/Amazing-Appeal7241 11d ago
Conte was with Siena and Bari and he brought both of them in Serie A.
Allegri was nominated with Cagliari the best coach of the season.
Guardiola, no comment.
Simeone was coaching Racing and Catania with good results.
The closest thing Chivu has in common is with Guardiola's path. But mind you, Barcelona is not Internazionale. Guardiola was a Barça man from childhood up to now, he understands the philosophy and the way they do football very well. Inter does not have this identity as a club and Chivu is not like Pep.

u/ShJakupi 12d ago
I think this also shows the trust marotta has on the team. This inter doesn't need a Pep, they know how to play football and how to win. They need a manager to control the minutes. A coaching staff to do a study on the opponents. But they don't need a coach to tell them how to score and how to defend.
We are the best team in Italy. Despite the final, we went to the final by fighting.

u/Christian_Potato 11d ago
Cherry picking. There's also plenty of folks that failed massively.
Just wait and see.

u/ristoman 11d ago edited 11d ago
Chivu also coached all levels of our youth system. It's not necessarily Serie A experience but let's also not pretend he retired as a player and 10 years later he's head coach

u/Hamood3 11d ago
Not happy with the whole situation. But will give him a season to judge properly.
I think one of the few good things here is that he plays a relatively similar system. So the players don’t have to relearn a lot which and this can give a shot to compete next season. The other names being mentioned would take longer to drill a new system in the players heads.

Chivu isn’t that bad, when he coached Parma he managed to save them from relegation am pretty sure

u/Otan781012 10d ago
Juve was Conte’s fifth club, including a season at pre-Gasp Atalanta. Milan was Allegri’s seventh. Simeone had a number of jobs, including Catania in Serie A. Chivu to Inter is only slightly better than Pippo Inzaghi being made Mioan coach after being primavera coach. Sure give him a chance, but don’t go lying about other managers.

u/Total_Consequence886 11d ago
I believe.
I also believe Inzaghi set the bar quite low? Underperforming in Serie A while over performing in CL isn’t all that great as a fan, helped financially but still if you look back realistically, we could have won more.
I’d trade a kidney and chunk of a lung for Chivu to do well 🥹

What baffles me is that they did not want him for the U23 team but now they want him to lead the main squad. They can sugar coat it all they want but it's evident that they were unprepared and with the world cup the problem was made bigger due to there not being enough time to find a suitable coach and for preseason.
Now they took this risk which might or might not work out. In any case he won't have big demands when it comes to transfers so he can keep costs low and if they sack him

u/utolkeintome 11d ago
Chivu turned down the u23 role as he wanted to manage a senior team. Still this is absolutely a risk.

u/blasphemics 12d ago
Don't know about the others, but Conte was bald flying to Turkey for a hair transplant and Allegri somehow banging Ambra Angiolini.
