The Divin Codino

Considered as one of the greatest Italian players ever, Roberto Baggio grow up in the youths of Caldogno, his hometown team. His professional career starts early thanks to his great skills that will bring him to wear, at the age of fifteen, the Vicenza jersey. After two great seasons, where he shows his talent, Baggio is bought by Fiorentina FC in the 1985. His first year with the violet jersey is not easy due to a serious injury who will bring him to postpone, on September 21th 1986, his debut in Serie A during the match Fiorentina – Sampdoria 2-0. Since that day Baggio has been enchanting everyone with his imagination, his technical skills and his talent, becoming a landmark for the Fiorentina FC. In the 1990 he became a Juventus FC player . With the bianconeri he won a League Title, an Italian Cup and a UEFA Cup, but most of all the Golden Ball in the 1993. During summer 1995 Roberto Baggio is bought by A.C. Milan with another champion of international fame, George Weah. Under the guidance of Mr. Fabio Capello, Baggio won a League Title collecting 28 appearances and scoring 7 goals. The second season in rossonero is not positive like the first one. The A.C. Milan doesn’t shine at the San Siro stadium. Baggio leaves the rossoneri but the love and the respect towards him are the same of the past two years with the rossonera jersey.
