&lt;p&gt;On Saturday 13 September at 18:00 CEST, Cristian Chivu and Igor Tudor will come up against each other in the dugouts of Inter and Juventus. However, their paths already crossed on the pitch back in the early 2000s when they were playing for &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; (Chivu) and &lt;strong&gt;Juventus/Siena&lt;/strong&gt; (Tudor).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Head-to-head as players&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;5e9c385f-fa54-41eb-bbbd-4d1e51fa13b2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5e9c385f-fa54-41eb-bbbd-4d1e51fa13b2&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/275b7b5b-2665-4940-a7a5-0e3391070cc7/Sito_Img-HERO-CHIVU-TUDOR-2.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;5e9c385f-fa54-41eb-bbbd-4d1e51fa13b2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5e9c385f-fa54-41eb-bbbd-4d1e51fa13b2&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their &lt;strong&gt;meetings&lt;/strong&gt; during their playing careers produced thrilling matches and memorable moments:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Juventus 2-2 Roma (2003/04): Chivu on the scoresheet in a thrilling contest.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Roma 4-0 Juventus (2003/04): a dominant Roma performance at the Olimpico.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Roma 0-2 Siena (2004/05): Tudor, with Siena, took his revenge.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Siena 0-2 Roma (2005/06): a Roma side featuring the Romanian defender secured all three points in Tuscany.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;overall record&lt;/strong&gt; between the duo thus leans towards Chivu: two wins, one draw, one defeat and one goal. Tudor, meanwhile, managed just one win, alongside one draw and two defeats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f8cb91ff-88ff-4305-b15f-8d6f78ee8ef0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f8cb91ff-88ff-4305-b15f-8d6f78ee8ef0&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0a9b90c3-a3cd-41d6-a303-0783a2cd8fc4/Sito_Img-HERO-CHIVU-TUDOR-1.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f8cb91ff-88ff-4305-b15f-8d6f78ee8ef0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f8cb91ff-88ff-4305-b15f-8d6f78ee8ef0&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defenders with character, leaders on the pitch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chivu and Tudor were both &lt;strong&gt;outstanding defenders&lt;/strong&gt;, though with different styles. The Romanian, elegant and versatile, made history with both Roma and then Inter, with whom he won a historic &lt;strong&gt;Treble&lt;/strong&gt; in 2010 under José Mourinho.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tudor, by contrast, was more combative and physical. He enjoyed successful years with &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; - winning two Serie A titles - before finishing his playing career at Siena and moving into coaching, with spells both in Italy and abroad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Their journeys as coaches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7dcbdbba-f623-4c15-b13e-d06c7d0d5cee&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7dcbdbba-f623-4c15-b13e-d06c7d0d5cee&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2db048c3-19f5-4ff9-ac8c-d5a2e4a27bfb/Sito_Img-HERO-CHIVU-TUDOR-3.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7dcbdbba-f623-4c15-b13e-d06c7d0d5cee&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7dcbdbba-f623-4c15-b13e-d06c7d0d5cee&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current Juventus boss has taken charge of &lt;strong&gt;several clubs&lt;/strong&gt;, including Hajduk Split, PAOK, Galatasaray, Udinese, Hellas Verona, Olympique Marseille, Lazio and Juventus. His spell with Verona deserves special mention: he guided the &lt;strong&gt;Scaligeri&lt;/strong&gt; to ninth place with 53 points. Equally significant was his time in France, where he led &lt;strong&gt;OM&lt;/strong&gt; to a third-place finish in Ligue 1, behind PSG and Lens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;236b0b47-e568-44dd-9f82-08063ce74610&#34; data-image-id=&#34;236b0b47-e568-44dd-9f82-08063ce74610&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/83b418f5-2446-442a-9ce2-5319aeef026e/Sito_Img-HERO-CHIVU-TUDOR-4.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;236b0b47-e568-44dd-9f82-08063ce74610&#34; data-image-id=&#34;236b0b47-e568-44dd-9f82-08063ce74610&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chivu, meanwhile, began his coaching career in &lt;strong&gt;Inter’s youth setup&lt;/strong&gt; before taking charge of &lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt; in Serie A Enilive, succeeding Fabio Pecchia for the final 13 matches of last season. He &lt;strong&gt;steered the Gialloblu to safety&lt;/strong&gt;, immediately demonstrating his ability to organise a side that was compact and aggressive in both defence and attack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second dugout duel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus vs. Inter, scheduled for 18:00 CEST on Saturday 13 September, will see Chivu and Tudor face off in only their &lt;strong&gt;second managerial showdown&lt;/strong&gt;.
