Inter, Chivu starts better than Inzaghi and Conte after eight matchdays
Sky Sport’s comparison rewards the Romanian coach’s start on the Nerazzurri bench after the first eight Serie A rounds.
Cristian Chivu’s Inter have produced the best start in the club’s recent history when compared with the teams coached by Simone Inzaghi and Antonio Conte. After the first eight Serie A matchdays, the Romanian coach’s record is therefore the strongest among the three managers considered by Sky Sport.
The comparison captures the impact made by Chivu during his opening period in charge of the Nerazzurri. The figure considers only the campaign after eight rounds and places the new coach ahead of two important references from Inter’s recent past: Inzaghi, who led the club through several trophy-winning seasons, and Conte, who brought the league title back to Milan. No judgment is added regarding playing style or the season’s prospects.
The team reaches this mark after three consecutive victories: a 3-1 win away to Bologna on October 17, a 1-0 home success against Shakhtar in the Champions League on October 21 and a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina on October 25. The schedule now brings Venezia-Inter on Wednesday, October 28 at 18:30, the derby against Milan on October 31 at 20:45 and the Champions League trip to Feyenoord on November 3 at 21:00.
