International football's band of brothers - Part 3

The Baresis – Franco and Giuseppe

Franco (L) and Giuseppe Baresi

One Milan legend. One Inter legend.

These 2 are as one club as they get. Franco played all 25 years of his career with AC Milan, including 5 of his youth years. Giuseppe did the same with Inter, spending 21 seasons there; it was only in the fag end of his career that he had 2 years with Modena.

Franco is considered one of the greatest defenders of all time. He was a sweeper, who won 3 Champions League titles, 6 Serie A titles, 4 Supercoppas, 3 European Super Cups and 2 Intercontinental Cups. In 1999, he was voted the AC Milan Player of the Century by the Giallorossi. He has coached the Under-19 and Under-20 teams of Milan too. He played 82 times for Italy and won the 1982 World Cup with the Azzuri.

Giuseppe didn’t have the same success with Italy; he only played 18 times. But he had a stellar club career with Inter, winning 2 Scudettos, 2 Coppa Italias and 1 Supercoppa in his 16 senior seasons with the club. He is currently the assistant manager of the Inter first team.
