Milan, June 9, 2025 – Newly appointed Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu dropped a bombshell during his first press conference, revealing a list of five shocking names set to leave the Nerazzurri. The Romanian tactician, who recently replaced Simone Inzaghi, declared, “They don’t fit into my plans,” signaling a major squad overhaul ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

While the exact names remain undisclosed, sources speculate that veterans like Francesco Acerbi and Mehdi Taremi, alongside midfielders Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani, could be on the chopping block. Posts on X also hint at Joaquin Correa as a potential departure. Chivu’s decision aligns with his vision to rejuvenate the squad with younger talents, including possible promotions for Valentin Carboni and Francesco Pio Esposito.

Chivu, who signed a two-year contract, plans to maintain Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 system but aims to instill a fresh mentality following Inter’s recent 5-0 Champions League final loss to PSG. His experience with Inter’s youth academy and brief stint at Parma fuels his focus on youth development. Fans are divided, with some praising his bold approach, while others question his limited senior coaching experience.

As Inter prepares for the Club World Cup, Chivu’s press conference in the USA will shed more light on his strategy. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story!
