and the Italy national side.

Club career

Baresi with Inter Milan in 1982

Born in

Modena in the Serie B
for a couple of seasons, before retiring in 1994 at the age of 36.

International career

A long-standing nerazzurro, he also served as Inter's

A.C. Milan. After representing the under-20 side in the 1977 Under-20 World Cup, and the under-21 side in the 1978 and 1980 European championships, Baresi was a member of Italy's senior squad at the UEFA 1980 European Championship, on home soil, alongside his brother. This was the only time that the two brothers were both selected for a major tournament with Italy, although only Giuseppe would make appearances in the competition, as Italy managed to reach the semi-finals, finishing in fourth place.[4] Despite being called up for the 1982 World Cup qualifiers by manager Enzo Bearzot,[5] Baresi was left out of the final squad for his brother Franco; although the team went on to win the trophy, Franco did not make a single appearance throughout the tournament. Baresi was also a starting member of Italy's 1986 World Cup squad, which was eliminated in the round of 16.[5][6]

Coaching career

After serving as head of Inter's club youth system, he was appointed as an assistant to new manager José Mourinho on 2 June 2008.[7] After Benitez was appointed, he brought his own assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino, while Baresi became a technical assistant.[8] He returned to that position after Benitez was sacked and replaced by Leonardo. At the start of 2011–12 Serie A, Gian Piero Gasperini brought his own assistant coach Bruno Caneo from Genoa,[8] but he was sacked in September. Claudio Ranieri replaced Gasperini, and Baresi was once again became an assistant.[1] When Roberto Mancini joined as head coach in 2014, Baresi was responsible for scouting, and followed the development of players in the various Inter academies worldwide.

Style of play

A hard-working and tenacious ball-winner, with an excellent ability to read the game, Baresi was regarded as one of the best and most versatile Italian

defensive midfielder, in addition to his natural centre-back role, due to his stamina.[1][9]

Personal life

He is the older brother of former defender, and legendary

A.C. Milan captain, Franco Baresi. As youngsters, both had tryouts for Inter, but Franco was rejected, and purchased by local rivals Milan; as he was the younger player, he was initially known as "Baresi 2".[10] Due to Franco's great success and popularity later in his career, however, Giuseppe became known as "the other Baresi".[3]
