Capello recently attended an event and talked about Chivu in an interview.
Capello said: "Choose Chivu to succeed Inzaghi to coach Inter Milan? He is a smart young man. I have long said that he is qualified for many roles. I have known him since Roma. When everyone was negative, I always had full confidence in him. He is proving my original judgment."
"He took over Parma and performed well. When he first entered the Inter Milan locker room, the wisest move he made on a technical level was not to intervene forcefully as a disruptor, but to gradually let the players understand his tactical concepts. Some coaches in other clubs are eager to implement reforms, but often struggle."
