description: "He captained AC Milan to a European Cup, then managed Italy's under-21s to three straight continental titles — a record that still stands. But the name carries weight for another reason: he started a bloodline that became synonymous with the club's back line across three generations."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Cesare Maldini began at Triestina before joining AC Milan in 1954, where he spent twelve seasons as a defender and captain, collecting four Serie A titles, a European Cup, and a Latin Cup. He earned 14 caps for Italy, captaining the national side and playing in the 1962 World Cup, then retired in 1967 after a season with Torino. As a manager he returned to Milan twice and worked with Foggia, Ternana, and Parma, but his sharpest success came with Italy's under-21s: three consecutive European championships, a feat no one has matched. He later led Italy's senior team at the 1998 World Cup and took Paraguay to the 2002 tournament. He died in April 2016, leaving behind a son, Paolo, and a grandson, Daniel, both of whom wore the Rossoneri shirt.
