However, Marotta has not lost confidence in the 45-year-old.
On the contrary, Chivu appears to have convinced the Nerazzurri hierarchy that he can help restore the glory days at San Siro.
Yet, there’s a glaring issue the former defender must address to improve Inter’s chances of fighting for trophies.
Indeed, Inter lost yet another high-profile fixture without standout right-back Denzel Dumfries.
Therefore, the club might dive into the market to reinforce the right wing in January.
