The nickname of Roberto Baggio is Il Divin Codino (The Divine Ponytail) . Baggio is known as Il Divin Codino (The Divine Ponytail), for the hairstyle he wore for most of his career. He is a devout Soka Gakkai Buddhist, a rarity for an Italian. He credits much of his success to encouragement from his mentor, Daisaku Ikeda.

Roberto Baggio's nickname was Il Divin Codino. Which in Italian means "The Divine Ponytail". Many times during play and espiecially in the 1994 World Cup U.S.A., he used a little ponytail at the back of his head.
