Andrea Pirlo Italy kit
Andrea Pirlo began his youth career with Brescia and eventually made his first team debut for the club in 1994 at the age of 16. After four years with Brescia, he was spotted by Inter Milan who he signed for in 1998. However, he never really impressed at Inter and only made 23 appearances in three seasons without scoring. During this period, he was loaned out to Reggina and Brescia in different seasons.
He was sold to Inter's fierce rivals AC Milan in 2001 where he began to develop into a world class player. With Milan he has won one league title, one Italian Cup, two UEFA Super Cup and two Champions League titles. In his 240 appearances for the club, he has notched 31 goals and been nominated for the FIFA World Player of Year. His career with Milan saw him begin as an offensive midfielder but he soon reverted to a deep lying playmaker role which sees him at his most effective.
Pirlo's international career has been just as successful as his time at Milan. In 2000, he captained the Italian u21s to a European Championship before winning a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics. His senior career began in 2002 and he was present at Euro 2004. However, his highlight with the national team came in the 2006 World Cup which saw Italy crowned as World Champions. He has remained in the squad under current manager Marcelo Lippi and looks set to appear in the 2010 World Cup.
