The arrival of Giovanni Martusciello as assistant to Cristhian Chivu as Inter Milan coach is in doubt due to bureaucratic issues.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908.

Today is the day. Inter Milan are set to make the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach official.

The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago.

On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira.

However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up.
