# Michel Platini

> Three consecutive Ballon d'Or wins in the mid-1980s, a midfield engine who scored like a striker, and the architect of France's 1984 European Championship triumph — until a 2015 ethics ban severed him from the game he'd risen to administer.

## Bio

Born 21 June 1955, Platini moved through Nancy and Saint-Étienne before landing at Juventus, where he claimed three straight Serie A top-scorer titles between 1983 and 1985 and led the club to the 1984–85 European Cup. Nicknamed Le Roi, he anchored the carré magique midfield that carried France to the 1984 Euros — a tournament he dominated as top scorer and best player — and to the semi-finals of two World Cups. He retired as France's all-time leading scorer, a mark that stood until 2007, and his nine European Championship goals weren't overtaken until Cristiano Ronaldo in 2021. After managing the national team from 1988 to 1992 and co-organizing the 1998 World Cup, he became UEFA president in 2007, the first former player to hold the role. In 2015 FIFA banned him over ethics violations; the ban lifted in 2023.
