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.

As far as the backroom staff who assist Chivu in his duties, Sky Sport Italia expect some notable changes.
