Inter Milan's triumphant evening after securing their 21st Scudetto was nothing short of spectacular. The celebrations kicked off immediately following their decisive match against Parma, with the club's key figures sharing their thoughts on an unforgettable campaign.
Club president Giuseppe Marotta spoke exclusively to DAZN, reflecting on the journey and what lies ahead. "Becoming president and winning the Scudetto is a dream come true," Marotta said. "My first thanks go to the presidents before meโthey inspire me every day. To our incredible fans and ownership, who let us work in peace, this is for you. But honestly, this is Chivu and the team's Scudetto."
Marotta addressed the bold decision to appoint Cristian Chivu as head coach following Simone Inzaghi's departure. "As Inzaghi explained, the mutual termination happened on Monday, and by Tuesday we had chosen Chivu. Some called it brave, but I call it measured courage. Chivu brings the Treble-winning pedigree, having captained Ajax at 21, led Inter's Primavera to glory, and gained valuable experience at Parma. His lack of senior coaching experience was offset by his immense qualities. He belongs at Inter for many years to come."
Looking ahead to reinforcements, Marotta was clear about the club's transfer philosophy. "Bastoni is a guarantee, but we're also looking at talented players elsewhere who could suit our style. The right mix is crucialโyou can't win with only youngsters. Any foreign player we bring in must have one essential quality: a winning culture."
Captain Lautaro Martinez echoed the sentiment of renewed energy and ambition. "Chivu was excellent at bringing enthusiasm and fresh energy to the group. With Simone, we had four incredible years, but this season we needed a change of air. After that final, the new coach arrived and gave us exactly thatโa spark that brought our smiles back. That matters a lot in football."
When asked if there's still room in the trophy cabinet for more silverware, Lautaro's response was pure champion's mentality. "There's always room. The real challenge is not going backwards after winning. We have to keep pushing forward."
