Chivu gets emotional remembering his father: “I still speak to him”

Cristian Chivu offered a glimpse into his private life by speaking about his late father and the relationship he continues to carry with him. The Inter coach described the pain of losing him, but also the lasting presence of a figure who remains central to his personal and professional journey.

The Nerazzurri manager explained that he still talks to his father despite his absence: “I speak to him even though he is no longer here.” The sentence, delivered with clear emotion, showed how strong that bond remains beyond death. The family memory revealed Chivu’s most personal side, away from his role and the daily responsibilities of leading Inter from the bench.

The team reached the international break after the 3-1 defeat to Milan on October 31, the convincing 3-0 Champions League win at Feyenoord on November 3 and the 2-0 victory over Como on November 8. Inter’s next match will be away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, when Chivu will return to the dugout after a break marked also by these intimate words.
