Some people think that Chivu becoming the head coach is a risky choice because he doesn’t have much experience at the senior level. But, his success as a player, especially during the 2009-10 treble, and his knowledge of the club could really help him. Plus, the fact that this is happening right before Inter plays in the Club World Cup shows that it’s a smart decision to keep things steady and use his understanding of the club’s culture.
