Inter secured their 21st Scudetto on Sunday, beating Parma 2-0 at San Siro.
Chivu has won the Serie A title in his first season at San Siro and his first full campaign in Italy’s top flight, having previously coached Parma for only 13 matches last term.
The Romanian tactician has become the first foreign coach to win the Scudetto since Mourinho in the 2009-10 campaign.
Back then, Mou not only won the Serie A title but also grabbed a legendary treble, with Chivu as one of the regular starters on that team.

Since then, only Italian coaches have won the Italian league: Massimiliano Allegri has done it six times, followed by Antonio Conte with five, Maurizio Sarri, Stefano Pioli, Luciano Spalletti and Simone Inzaghi with one each.
