Cristian Chivu has left Parma after less than four months as manager.
He is set to take charge of Inter Milan, signing a two-year deal.
Chivu replaces Simone Inzaghi following a disappointing Champions League final.
Inter begins its Club World Cup campaign on June 17 against Monterrey.
Chivu is expected to bring defensive stability, improving Parma's results prior to his appointment.

Parma have parted ways with manager Cristian Chivu by mutual consent after less than four months in charge. The 44-year-old Romanian, who managed to keep his team in the top flight, is set to take over at Inter Milan where he previously played for seven years, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Chivu's transition comes after Simone Inzaghi's departure following Inter's demoralizing 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. The club confirmed his appointment on a two-year deal, highlighting Chivu's experience as a former player and his brief success at Parma, where he secured safety with a record of three wins, according to BBC and Reuters.

Chivu expressed his readiness to embark on this new chapter, where he aims to uphold the club's values of dedication and hard work. Inter Milan will kick off their Club World Cup campaign against Mexico's Monterrey on June 17, hoping to capitalize on their new manager's defensive strategy, which proved effective at Parma, as reported by Channel News Asia and Channel News Asia.
