Timeline

1980

Cristian Eugen Chivu (born 26 October 1980) is a Romanian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Inter Milan's under-19 side.

1998

A defender, he began his career with hometown club CSM Reșița before moving to FC Universitatea Craiova in 1998, leaving Romania to join Dutch club Ajax a season later.

1999

Chivu earned 75 international caps for Romania between 1999 and 2010, and was part of the squads for UEFA European Championships in 2000 and 2008.

After retiring, he became a football pundit for Italian television stations Sky Sport and Fox Sports.

He is also a technical observer for UEFA.

Chivu's first professional club was CSM Reșița.

After moving to FC Universitatea Craiova, his reputation began to rise and his performances sparked interest from some larger clubs outside of Romania.

Dutch club Ajax was particularly impressed with Chivu and signed him in 1999.

At Ajax, Chivu developed a reputation as a reliable fullback and a free-kick specialist.

Then-manager Ronald Koeman appointed him as captain of the club.

With Chivu as captain, Ajax dominated the Dutch Eredivisie with an exciting young squad.

Playing alongside Chivu were future stars such as Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Johnny Heitinga, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Steven Pienaar and Maxwell.

2002

Chivu played a pivotal role for Ajax in their UEFA Champions League run in the 2002–03 season, when they came to within a minute of the semi-finals.

That season, Chivu was in a quintet of Ajax players – himself, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Maxwell, Wesley Sneijder and Andy van der Meyde – who all went on to later join Inter Milan.

2003

His performances as the captain of Ajax inspired an €18 million transfer to Roma in 2003.

In 2003, Roma expressed their interest in signing Chivu.

At the time, Roma had an enormous debt and there were questions raised over Roma's ability to pay any proposed fees.

Seeking to silence the increasing doubt over their financial situation, Roma sought a bank guarantee, which was subsequently denied.

After much speculation, however, Roma finally completed the purchase of Chivu in September, ending the long and protracted saga.

The fee was €18 million.

Though he became a regular in defence, he made limited appearances due to injuries.

2006

He won the 2006–07 Coppa Italia in his last season with Roma.

During the summer transfer window, he was once again a subject of transfer speculation, with newly crowned La Liga champions Real Madrid reportedly making a formal bid, while Barcelona and Inter Milan were also interested in signing the defender.

2007

Chivu was reported to be in the middle of a tug-of-war between Barcelona and Real Madrid during the 2007 summer transfer window.

After a four-year spell which yielded a Coppa Italia, Chivu left Roma and signed a five-year contract with Serie A rivals Inter on 27 July 2007.

The transfer fee was €16 million, which €3 million of the transfer fee paid via defender Marco Andreolli moved to Roma in a co-ownership deal.

His first season with the defending Serie A champions was a successful one, as he won the Serie A title that had eluded him during his time at Roma.

2008

During the Champions League match at home to Manchester United in the 2008–09 season, Chivu had a terrific game, denying Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo many times, and won Man of the Match ahead of Inter goalkeeper Julio César.

2009

Chivu was a regular at left back during the 2009–10 season, as Walter Samuel and Lúcio became the preferred centre back pairing.

On 6 January against Chievo, Chivu was stretchered off early in the second half after colliding heads with Chievo striker Sergio Pellissier.

He was in two hours of surgery for a skull fracture and later cleared of any danger.

Although it was initially thought he might be out for the rest of the season, he returned to Serie A on 24 March.

After this, he needed to wear a headguard in matches.

A month later, Chivu scored his first goal for Inter in a game against Atalanta, a terrific 30-yard strike.

2010

After recovering from a fractured skull, Chivu wore a distinctive protective headgear, similar to Petr Čech's, from 2010 onwards.

His honours at Inter included a treble of the Italian league, domestic cup, and the UEFA Champions League in 2010.

On 22 May 2010, he was in Inter's starting line-up in the UEFA Champions League Final against Bayern Munich, which Inter won 2–0.

He scored his second goal for Inter in the 2010–11 season against Cesena which turned out to be the game winner in a 3–2 win for Inter.

2011

He also scored the winning penalty for Inter in their 2009–10 Coppa Italia win over Napoli on 26 January 2011.

2014

Chivu won the Coppa Italia in his last of four seasons in Rome before a transfer to Inter Milan, where he spent the rest of his career before retiring in 2014.
