Beppe Marotta, president of Inter Milan, has extended heartfelt Christmas greetings to all Nerazzurri supporters, celebrating the team’s progress under the stewardship of Cristian Chivu.
During a feature on a YouTube channel through FCInterNews, Marotta commended the team’s development under the Romanian manager.

The iconic club appointed Cristian Chivu as the successor to Simone Inzaghi in June despite his limited experience in senior management.
Last season, the 45-year-old managed only 13 Serie A matches with Parma before joining the Nerazzurri.
However, Chivu has surpassed expectations, leading Inter to the top of the league standings after 16 rounds.
Additionally, the Italian heavyweights have positioned themselves well in the Champions League, nearing the last-16 qualification with two games remaining.
Nevertheless, Inter must remain vigilant as they face challenges from Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund in their continental campaign.

Inter will enjoy the holiday season as Serie A leaders following a 2-1 victory over Genoa in their last match.
Despite facing four losses from 15 games, Inter holds a slim one-point lead over second-placed AC Milan.
However, Chivu missed a significant chance to capture his first trophy with Inter after the team was eliminated from the Supercoppa by Bologna.

“We are a closely-knit, courageous group that is eager to bring satisfaction,” Marotta stated.
“Long live Inter, and best wishes to everyone,” he added in a segment shared on Inter’s YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, the 20-time Italian champions are set to resume their Scudetto campaign this Sunday.
Chivu’s squad will head to Bergamo to face an out-of-form Atalanta in a crucial league match.
Currently mired in mid-table, La Dea could be facing their fourth consecutive home defeat against Inter.
