Alessandro

Costacurta

Home-grown talent, Alessandro Costacurta became first-team regular in the 1986/87 season, after a loan spell at Monza. Under the guidance of Arrigo Sacchi, he finally expressed his full potential, finding his ideal position next to Baresi. Precise, disciplined, endowed with an extraordinary tactical intelligence, he won everything during his very long career. He retired from football at 41 years leaving Milan fans a legacy of memories, including a goal on a penalty kick scored against Udinese in his last match played at San Siro.
