Inter Milan Clinches Domestic Double As Chivu Lauds Squad Resiliencenewsline24

Inter coach Cristian Chivu praised the squad’s mentality after the Scudetto celebrations followed a 1-1 draw with Verona at San Siro. Inter had already secured the league with a 2-0 victory over Parma, then added the Coppa Italia against Lazio to complete a domestic double earlier this week.

The final home match saw Inter denied a win when Kieran Bowie scored in stoppage time, cancelling an earlier Andrias Edmundsson own goal. The late equaliser did not affect the mood, as the title party was already planned and the crowd focused on recognising the team’s achievements across the season.

Chivu became the first Inter coach since Jose Mourinho in 2010 to claim a domestic double, matching the Serie A and Coppa Italia success that season. Mourinho also lifted the Champions League that year, making it a treble. This time, Inter’s campaign ended with two major domestic trophies but without European silverware.

Reflecting on his debut season in charge, Chivu highlighted how the group stayed united through early difficulties. Chivu said to DAZN that “There are always ups and downs over eight months, Chivu said to DAZN. You have to know how to overcome the difficult times we had at the beginning of the season. The euphoria has passed, but today we have the chance to show off the trophies we won, thanks to these guys.”

Inter’s decisive fixtures in the Scudetto and domestic double campaign featured two 2-0 wins, both with clean sheets that underlined the team’s control in knockout and league pressure moments.

Chivu has now spent almost two decades at Inter as a player, youth coach and first-team manager. The long association made this success special on a personal level, though Chivu underlined that the celebrations belonged to the group and the supporters who followed the journey across the season.

Chivu described the emotion of the moment by saying: Ive been here for 19 years, its a beautiful feeling for me, but Im even happier for my boys and for these fans. The campaign closed with trophies, a shared sense of achievement and a clear appreciation of the bond between the coach, squad and stands.
