Cristian Chivu Considers Playing Inter Milan Newcomer As Hakan Calhanoglu Deputy Vs Monterrey
Inter Milan fans may get their first glimpse of new signing Petar Sucic in the FIFA Club World Cup Group E opener against CF Monterrey. Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 21-year-old could make his Nerazzurri debut in less than 48 hours. Advertisement Unfortunately, new Inter boss Cristian Chivu cannot count on several first-team stars for the curtain-raising fixture. In addition to Hakan Calhanoglu, the Serie A runners-up will likely be without Polish star Piotr Zielinski. Moreover, fatigue has caught up with Davide Frattesi. Therefore, Chivu has to be creative to fill the void in the engine room. Petar Sucic Could Make His First Inter Milan Start vs Monterrey SALZBURG, AUSTRIA – OCTOBER 23: Petar Sucic of GNK Dinamo in action during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between FC Salzburg and GNK Dinamo at Stadion Salzburg on October 23, 2024 in Salzburg, Austria. (Photo by) Chivu's midfield options seem severely depleted, and only a handful of players are capable of replacing Calhanoglu. Dropping Nicolo Barella deep into midfield could be among the solutions, but it looks like Chivu has other ideas. Indeed, Kristjan Asllani has never been able to convince the club of his capacity to fill Calhanoglu's shoes.

Poland head coach resigns following Robert Lewandowski ultimatum on international exile
Michal Probierz has resigned from his position as Poland head coach, just four days after Robert Lewandowski said he would not play for the national side again unless he left. Barcelona striker Lewandowski, with 85 goals in 158 international appearances, is Poland's record scorer and appearance holder, but said on Sunday he had a 'loss of trust' in the management and would not play for the nation again until a coaching change. Advertisement Lewandowski, 36, cited 'physical and mental tiredness' after the conclusion of the club season for his exclusion for this month's matches against Moldova and Finland, prompting Probierz to replace him as national team captain with Inter midfielder Piotr Zielinski. That led Lewandowski to rule himself out of selection unless there was a coaching change, with Probierz's departure now confirmed. 'I have come to the conclusion that in the current situation, the best decision for the good of the national team will be my resignation from the position of coach,' Probierz said in a statement on Thursday. 'Performing this role has been the fulfillment of my professional dreams and the greatest honour of my life.' Probierz, who oversaw a winless Euro 2024 and group stage exit for Poland, was in charge for Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Finland in the 2026 World Cup qualifier.
