🔵 A Fresh Start at the San Siro

Inter Milan endured a heartbreaking conclusion to last season, narrowly missing out on the Scudetto to Napoli on the final day, before suffering a heavy defeat to PSG in the Champions League final. The aftermath saw Simone Inzaghi depart for Al-Hilal, paving the way for Christian Chivu to be appointed as his successor.

Chivu arrives with limited managerial experience, having overseen just 13 matches with Parma last season. However, his experience with the Nerazzurri made him the preferred option to take over as manager. During Inzaghi’s tenure, Chivu worked within Inter’s youth system, coaching the U19s and other academy sides, so he understands the philosophy of the club.

That familiarity is likely to ensure that Inter’s style of play remains relatively similar to as it was under Inzaghi. While Chivu remains somewhat of an unknown at senior level, the expectation is that he will build on the foundations of his predecessor while offering more opportunities to emerging young talents.

⚪ Baroni Taking Charge in Turin

Torino also have been busy in the managerial market, replacing Paolo Vanoli after just one season in charge. Marco Baroni has been appointed to fill the gap, having been sacked from his role at Lazio over the summer. Although he improved on Lazio’s points tally from the 23/24 campaign despite very little backing from the board, Lazio missed out on a European spot having lost to a 10-man Lecce on the final day, which proved to be the final straw.

Torino’s average of 2.21 goals per game in the Serie A last season was a league-low - fresh ideas are definitely needed in Turin. However, they have lost goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Samuele Ricci over the summer for a combined transfer fee of £33 million. Those two featured in the most minutes for Torino last season, and were key defensive players - Torino games might just open up a bit more under their new manager.
