Pierluigi Casiraghi

Pierluigi Casiraghi is a striker's striker, the kind of relentless Italian center forward I have a lot of time for. He came up through Monza in 1985, then carried that physical, hard-running style to Juventus and Lazio before finishing at Chelsea in the Premier League. At 182 cm he had the frame for the role, and I think his move to England near the end said a lot about his ambition. What I respect is the second act, turning from player to coach. Forwards who stay in the game as managers usually understand the craft from the inside, and that's a perspective worth keeping in football.
