Inter, Chivu makes history with record start after nine Serie A rounds

Cristian Chivu’s Inter have added a new chapter to the club’s history. Following Wednesday’s 2-0 victory away to Venezia, recorded on October 28, 2026, the Nerazzurri completed the first nine Serie A rounds with the club’s best-ever performance at this stage of the competition. The achievement places the Romanian coach alongside two legendary figures from Inter’s dugout.

Chivu has matched the starts previously produced by Helenio Herrera and Giovanni Trapattoni, the coaches who had already reached the same landmark after nine games. The statistic confirms the consistency shown by the team during the opening weeks of the season. It also comes after recent victories over Shakhtar, beaten 1-0 in the Champions League on October 21, and Fiorentina, defeated 2-1 on October 25.

Inter now face the most anticipated fixture of the immediate schedule. On Saturday, October 31, at 20:45, the Nerazzurri will visit Milan for the Serie A derby. After the San Siro clash, they will play Feyenoord in the Champions League on November 3 at 21:00, before hosting Como on November 8 at 18:00.
