Inter Milan, under the leadership of coach Cristian Chivu, began the Serie A season with three consecutive victories, including a 3-2 comeback win against Napoli. This early success was met with some controversy regarding the Gran Gala del Calcio AIC 2026 awards, as former international Marius Lăcătuș argued that Chivu deserved the best coach award over Cesc Fabregas. Following this strong domestic start, the focus shifted toward the team’s performance in the Champions League. Chivu noted that the squad has won only one of its last seven Champions League matches and expressed a desire to improve this record. He also discussed tactical adjustments, specifically the successful transition of Andy Diouf from a midfielder to a left ~~winger, and provided updates~~ winger. As the team prepares for an upcoming Serie A match against Udinese, Chivu is managing squad rotations following recent fixtures in Madrid. He noted that while the squad felt “some bitterness over a missed opportunity” in Madrid, they remain focused on long-term growth. Chivu also expressed support for reduced VAR usage to maintain game intensity. Regarding player availability, ~~noting that~~ Federico Dimarco ~~is ready for selection~~ has returned to training after a knee injury, while Djed Spence ~~remains in~~ continues his physical recovery. Chivu is also managing Hakan Calhanoglu’s workload. Tactical shifts are anticipated, including a potential first start for John Stones in defense and various rotations in the midfield and attacking lines involving players such as Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Piotr Zielinski, and Luis Henrique.
