The Nerazzurri manager celebrates the 21st title, officially won after the success against Parma and dictates the line on the next strengthening campaign

May 3, 2026 (changed May 4, 2026 | 00:00) – MILAN

“This is the championship of Chivu and the team.” The first scudetto as president is not forgotten, but Beppe Marotta dedicates his first thoughts to those who triumphed with Inter on the pitch. “For me it’s a dream that has come true: I would never have imagined doing this as president and winning this scudetto at Inter, which is something grandiose – he begins to Dazn -. The first thanks goes to my predecessors, who were a source of inspiration and values: Pellegrini, Moratti, Facchetti, Fraizzoli, Steven Zhang. Then to the wonderful fans, and to the owners, who gave us peace of mind and a broad mandate”.

Returning to the Romanian coach, Marotta reveals what the secret of the choice was. “As Inzaghi said, on Monday we made the consensual resolution and on Tuesday we had already decided to focus on Chivu – he explains -. We did it with considered courage, because he had a CV as a winning player, the fact of having been captain of Ajax at 21 and a winning coach in the Nerazzurri’s spring: all these characteristics led us to decide calmly. The only thing he could have lacked was experience and we supported him in this. He has great qualities: he will be able to he must remain at Inter for many years.”

The Nerazzurri president assures that he never had doubts about the technical leadership, despite a handicap start. “After the first negative period, but characterized by very good and positive performances, we understood that the team was very united and the coach was their leader – guarantees Marotta -. I have never sacked a coach, who is a fundamental component but must be supported. And in any case there weren’t even the right conditions to change the bench: we knew his value and that of the team”.

It is inevitable, then, that the discussion shifts to the market and the coach’s requests. “We talk very often, we see each other every day and we have very clear ideas on how to act, thanks to the discussion with the owners who will dictate the economic guidelines to us – concludes Marotta -. I am confident because there is a group consolidated over the years and because of the fact that we have an Italian hard core. There are players who play in Serie A, Italians, who can be right for us. As well as foreign players with a certain experience, because we know that you can’t win with young people: we need the right mix with those who bring the culture of victory. Unfortunately it is not ours, but it has a great future.”
