Considered as one of the best defenders in the world, Chiellini's expertise as a world-class center back has earned him several accolades both at club and national level. Forming an alliance with his fellow center back Leonardo Bonucci, the Juve defenders have had a dominating display of defensive prowess. His work rate as a defender has proven to be an extremely important element for his team.

However, the Italian international has completed a Laurea (bachelor's degree) in economics and commerce at the University of Turin in July 2010, and later gaining a Master's degree in the same course in July 2017.
