Inter Milan 1997/1998: Where are they now?

Javier Zanetti

Zanetti has remained at Inter in the role of Vice-president

When you mention Inter Milan to a football fan, chances are that Javier Zanetti is the first player they think of. He may not be a one-club man like Bergomi, but he is certainly on the same level of legendary status thanks to his 615 appearances for Inter.

He was only a youngster when Inter won the UEFA Cup in 1998, but Zanetti had already shown his ability and leadership across the season. He had scored the second goal in this victory over Lazio, and was handed the captaincy once Bergomi retired, and began making his mark at the club for many years to come.

The Argentinian would eventually retire in 2014 at the age of 40, but has remained at Inter in the role of Vice-president as the new Chinese/Suning era looks to bring the Nerazzurri back to the top of the Italian game.
