Biography
Alessio Tacchinardi (born July 23, 1975 in Crema, Lombardy) is
an Italian footballer and central midfielder who currently plays
for Villarreal. He previously spent eleven seasons with Juventus.
He started his career in 1992 at Atalanta, where he played in
nine games before being transferred to Juventus in 1994. There,
he had an immediate impact, starring in 24 games. Arguably, his
peak season so far was the 2002-03 campaign, where he scored two
goals in 27 appearances in the Serie A, while scoring two more
goals in 13 Champions League appearances (that year, Juventus
reached the Champions League finals). Nonetheless, he has had
occasional injury problems, and has not completely filled the
gap left by Edgar Davids' departure. In July 2005, Villareal
signed him on a one-year contract.
For Italy, Tacchinardi has been capped 11 times, as of 2005.
His elder brother, Massimiliano, also briefly played
professional football as a defender.
