Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu said his own experiences as a player helped him guide the club to a 21st Serie A title after Sunday’s 2-0 home win over Parma left them with an unassailable lead at the top of the table, Reuters reported.
The 45-year-old, appointed in June, spent seven seasons at Inter as a player and was part of Jose Mourinho’s treble‑winning side in 2010. He took charge after last season’s bitter finish, when Inter lost the title on the final day before suffering a 5-0 Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.
"I just try to be the best version of myself, to help these lads who sometimes need the carrot, sometimes the stick," Chivu told DAZN Italia, according to Reuters.
