Inter Milan Could Confirm Scudetto Status Next Weekend As Italian Media Underline Chivu & Mourinho Comparisons

Inter Milan could be crowned Serie A champions as early as next Sunday, and Gazzetta dello Sport are no longer holding back in placing Cristian Chivu among the most elite coaches in the club’s history.

According to Gazzetta, via FCInterNews, if Inter win at Torino and their rivals fail to do the same, the 21st Scudetto will be confirmed with four games to spare.

Napoli remain 12 points behind with five games remaining.

And, after yesterday’s result, have effectively conceded the title race.

Indeed, the Gazzetta verdict is unambiguous.

“In his first full experience on a professional bench, Cristian Chivu has not just won the league. He has dominated it beyond all reasonable doubt. Overcoming general scepticism toward the coaching newcomer.”

The comparison with José Mourinho is unavoidable, and Gazzetta confront it directly.

Mourinho won the Scudetto with Inter in his debut season in 2008/09.

However, the outlet are careful to note the context.

“Those were more comfortable years, the Calciopoli storm had swept away Juventus. And the man of the Treble had inherited a squad already capable of finishing ahead of the main rival, Roma, for two consecutive seasons.”
