On Monday local time in Italy, Inter Milan officially announced that 44-year-old Kivo would serve as head coach to replace Simeone Inzaghi who went to the Crescent of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There are not many options, so it takes Inter Milan to finalize Kivo, but the process can be said to be twists and turns. Club chairman Marota publicly stated that Simeone Inzaghi's sudden decision caught management off guard. Before the Champions League final, rumors of Inzaji's departure had already existed. In order to prepare for the game, Marota and the others chose to put aside the controversy, but on the third day after the final, Inzaji confessed to the club. Marotta respected Inzaghi's decision and let him leave for free with one year left in the contract, and did not ask Riyadh Crescent for compensation, and since then he parted with him.

But at that time, coaches on the market are basically "famous and famous flowers have their own masters". This year, the teams ranked 3 to 8 in the league may change their coaches or have already changed their coaches. Antonio Conte, who was determined to defect to Juventus, eventually stayed in Naples, while Inter Milan, which was originally the most stable, suddenly encountered the incident where the head coach applied to leave. At this time, famous coaches such as Allegri, Gasperini, Sarri have all determined their future, and there are not many options left for Inter Milan.

So the club began to include coaches with contracts in the selection range. Fabregas first came into sight, but Chairman Cuomo and Fabregas himself immediately expressed their willingness to cooperate in the UK when attending the event. Inter Milan was unwilling to give up and appointed Osilio to negotiate. But Cuomo had no authorization to open negotiations from beginning to end. After receiving Fabregas's negative attitude, Osilio returned to Italy in an almost "gray-faced" manner.

Some media revealed that Fabregas has very high requirements for club planning, which is something that the current Inter Milan management cannot achieve. Oaks still hope to make a smooth transition and repair the lineup without selling key players. The boss of Cuomo is in the stage of large investment, and Inter Milan's conditions for grabbing players are not sufficient. Marota acknowledged that Inzaghi's departure brought an accident, but did not think it would cause confusion. So the managers acted quickly and quickly finalized the latter among the two candidates, Vieira and Kivo.

There are three main reasons: First, Kifu will not have too high requirements for the lineup; Second, Kifu is good at the three-guard system, which can shorten the time cost caused by changing coaches; Third, Kifu is a famous Inter Milan, a hero during the "Three Champions League" period. He has a relatively high reputation in the team and has a significant effect on appeaseing the locker room. In this way, Givel eliminated Vieira and became the ultimate goal of Inter Milan's coaching coach selection. The remaining problems are easy to solve, because Kivo himself has a strong desire and Parma decided to let him go. After the two sides officially terminated the contract, Kivo became the head coach of Inter Milan.

The young coach takes over, Inter Milan adjusts its target?

The biggest concern of the outside world about Givou is that before that, the Romanian coach had only 13 Serie A games and achieved 3 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. However, this includes the experience of defeating Juventus in the final stage of the season and drawing with Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina and its current team Inter Milan. You should know that Parma was known for his poor defense in the early stage of this season. The team's performance was seriously lacking in stability. Kivo's takeover in the middle helped Parma consolidate his defense immediately and finally successfully completed the relegation task.

Teaching according to the aptitude is the characteristic of Jifu. He is not holding on to a set of 3-year-old health insurance, but switches according to the player's characteristics and tactical needs. His advantage is also his ability to promote new players. Central defender Leoni became the main force under his rule, and thus attracted the attention of many Serie A giants. In addition, he allowed Bernave, the best midfielder in Parma, to leave the drag position, liberate his offensive attributes, and reuse Ondreika, making the Swedish young player the most important surprise. These measures are the key reasons why Parma can relegate.

It can be said that his short coaching experience in Parma has enhanced the market value of Givou. It should be noted that in previous assessments, Givou was not even a popular candidate for the head coach of the newly established Inter Milan II team, although he once coached the youth team and won the championship trophy. This week, it is the third time that Kivo has opened the Inter Milan headquarters. It is the first time as a player, the second time as an echelon coach, and the third time as an adult team head coach. Jifu's development momentum is rapidly due to Inter Milan's support and its own luck.

In order to better assist Kivo's work, Inter Milan is carrying out a intensive coaching team formation work. The previously rumored Sarri's deputy Matuciello will not become an assistant coach, and former head coach Udinese and Verona's Gotti become a candidate. What is certain is that Paloma, who has been a partner in Parma, will join hands with Kifu again. When he was a player, he only had a short chance to play in the Nerazzurri, and now more "famous people" are joining in.

According to the strength of the lineup, Inter Milan is still the favorite to compete for the Serie A championship next season, but it is really hard to expect a new coach to lead the team in the first year. It is expected that the club will make appropriate adjustments to the season's goals. However, Kifu first has to prepare for the Club World Cup that will arrive soon. Inter Milan has many Chinese players, leaving only three goalkeepers for Kifu, plus players such as Archerby, Mkhitaryan, and Damian who do not have national team tasks. Time is tight and the task is arduous. Jivo, who is very resilient in the player age, looks ready to face the challenge.
