Controversial World Cup figure, Italian defender Marco Materazzi won the trophy in 2006 as Italy overcame France on penalties to claim their fourth crown. The defender along with Fabio Cannavaro was immense for the team in central defence and guided the nation to a historic triumph.

Like Berti, Materazzi spent 10 years at the club and a majority of his career at the club where he won multiple leagues and cups, including the elusive Champions League trophy.

Now a manager, Materazzi oversaw Indian Super League Chennaiyin FC and won the ISL with the club in the second edition of the tournament.
