5 famous father-son duos who played for the same club

#1 Cesare and Paolo Maldini (AC Milan)

Cesare Maldini at Paraguay

Both were AC Milan legends and that speaks volumes about their contribution to the Italian club. Cesare began his career in 1952 at Triestina before moving to Milan in 1954. He stayed there for the next twelve years. He was capped 14 times for Italy and won four Scudettos and a European Cup.

An elegant defender, who could both carry the ball out and be conservative should the situation demand it, Cesare was a fan-favourite. He returned as head coach in 1972 and won a European Cup Winner's Cup in 1973. Though he was sacked in 1974, he returned for a brief spell as interim Manager in 2001, when he led Milan to a 6-0 drubbing of Inter in the Milan derby.

Paulo Maldini

Paolo Maldini was even more successful than his father, starting and finishing a 24-year long career at Milan. Inheriting his father's capacity to be sound on the ball, Paolo's versatility allowed him to be deployed anywhere along the back-line.

He was a part of the Invincible Milan team between 1991 and 1992 which went 58 games unbeaten. Winning a stunning 23 trophies at Milan, Paolo served the national team with distinction as well. He donned the Azzurri kit 126 times but failed to win an International trophy.
