MILAN - On 18 July 1942, Giacinto Facchetti was born. He was an unforgettable figure who united all Nerazzurri fans. His story, talent, and what he represented for Inter made him an extraordinary legend.
His Inter journey began in 1961 when he made his Serie A debut in the Nerazzurri shirt. Originally a forward, he transitioned to full-back thanks to an insight from Helenio Herrera. Giacinto became the perfect prototype of the modern full-back: physically strong, fast, and with a strong will to help going forward.
Over his career, he made 634 appearances and scored 75 goals, showcasing his impressive scoring ability. He quickly became a symbol of Inter, winning four Scudetti, two European Cups, two Intercontinental Cups, and one Coppa Italia.
A champion both on and off the field, his memory goes on. After retiring, he took on a managerial role and later became president, always with Inter, becoming a key reference point for everyone.
Happy birthday, Cipe!
