Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu stands on the brink of a remarkable personal achievement, one that would see him surpass a milestone even the iconic Jose Mourinho couldn't reach in his storied Nerazzurri tenure.

While Mourinho's legendary 2009/10 treble-winning campaign remains the gold standard at San Siro, his first season, though successful with a Scudetto, did not include a domestic double. This is the history Chivu is poised to write.

The Romanian coach, in his debut season at the helm, has already all but secured the Serie A title. Now, his focus shifts to the Coppa Italia, where a victory over Como in the semi-final second leg would book a final spot and keep the double dream vividly alive.

After a tense 0-0 draw in the first leg away at Como, the advantage is with Inter as the action returns to the familiar fortress of San Siro. However, they will be wary of a Como side managed by Cesc Fabregas, especially after Inter's dramatic 4-3 comeback win in the league at the same venue just last weekend.

A successful progression and eventual Coppa Italia win would not only secure Inter's first domestic double in 16 years but also etch Chivu's name into the club's folklore in a uniquely impressive debut campaign.
