Filippo "Pippo" Inzaghi Ufficiale OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [fiˈlippo inˈtsaːɡi];[1] born 9 August 1973) is

a retired Italian professional footballer and current manager, who currently serves as head coach
of Serie B team Benevento.
Inzaghi played as a striker for several Italian clubs, and spent the most notable spells of his club
career with Juventus and Milan, winning two UEFA Champions League titles (2003, 2007), and
three Serie A titles (1998, 2004, 2011). He is the seventh highest scorer in Italy, with 313 goals
scored in official matches. He is currently the fourth-highest goal scorer in European club
competitions with 70 goals, behind only Raúl, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He is also Milan's
top international goal scorer in the club's history with 43 goals. He also holds the record for most hat-
tricks in Serie A with 10.
At international level, Inzaghi earned 57 caps for the Italy national team between 1997 and 2007,
scoring 25 goals. He represented his country at three FIFA World Cups, winning the 2006 edition,
and he also took part at UEFA Euro 2000, where he won a runners-up medal.
Inzaghi's favourite footballers as a child were Paolo Rossi and Marco van Basten.[2] The elder
brother of fellow footballer Simone Inzaghi,[3] he got his start playing for hometown club Piacenza as
a teenager in 1991, but made only two league appearances before being loaned to Serie
C1 side AlbinoLeffe, with whom he scored an impressive 13 goals in 21 matches. In 1993, Inzaghi
moved to Serie B club Hellas Verona and scored 13 goals in 36 league appearances. Upon his
return to Piacenza, he scored 15 times in 37 games helping his team win Serie B and proving
himself to be an exciting young prospect.[4][5][6]
Inzaghi made his Serie A debut when he transferred to Parma in 1995, but scored only twice in
15 league matches. One of these two goals came against one of his former clubs, Piacenza, literally
"making him cry". He added another two goals in European competitions that season. The following
season, he moved on to Atalanta, finishing as the Capocannoniere (Serie A's top scorer) with 24
goals, and scored against every team in the league. He was awarded Serie A Young Footballer of
the Year and served as team captain in the last game of the season.
