Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach.
The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago.
On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira.
However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up.
Marotta: 'Inter Proud To Name Cristian Chivu New Coach, Our Goals The Same As Ever'

'We're proud of having linked such an historic name for Inter to the role of coach,' he said. Chivu spent six years as a Nerazzurri player before hanging up his boots.
Chivu won the European Treble of the Serie A title, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia with Inter in the 2009-10 season.
Marotta continued that 'I believe modern football clubs must cultivate this connection.'
'Because within this character, there are a lot of positive values.'
The Inter President insisted the club are 'satisfied and happy' with their choice to appoint Chivu.
And as far as Inter's objectives next season as ever, Marotta said they're 'the same ones as ever.'

'The history of Inter says this is the case. Inter participate in competitions to win. Then if someone's better than us, as happened last season, we'll take our hats off to them.'
'However, we have to remember that reaching the top isn't easy,' Marotta stressed.
'Not everyone has reached that far in recent years.'

Guardiola picks up another honor in Manchester. This one is from its university
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Manchester on Monday to recognize his contribution on and off the field since joining the club in 2016. Guardiola was presented with an honorary doctorate by the university's chancellor at a ceremony to honor his success with City, including leading the team to six Premier League titles and the Champions League, and in the community, notably through his Guardiola Sala Foundation. 'I have spent nine years here and it has become home,' Guardiola said. 'The people, the culture, my incredible football club, my colleagues … it is all so special to me and my family. 'When I arrived here in 2016, I did not know how long I would spend here. The way this city embraced me made everything easy. My time here has been beautiful.' Professor Duncan Ivison, who is the university's president and vice chancellor, described Guardiola as an 'innovator and a winner who has inspired millions of people through his success as a manager.' 'He has played a huge role in making Manchester a global success story,' he said, 'and we are honored that he has chosen to accept this degree. I hope that this forges another important connection between him, the University of Manchester, and the city.'
