Giuseppe Baresi (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe baˈreːzi; -eːsi]; born 7 February 1958) is an Italian football manager and former player, who played as a defender or as a defensive midfielder.

With Inter, he won two Serie A titles and the UEFA Cup, among other trophies, and also served as the team's captain.[1] At international level, he represented the Italy national team on 18 occasions between 1979 and 1986, taking part at UEFA Euro 1980, where they finished in fourth place, and at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.
