Filippo "Pippo" Inzaghi (born August 9, 1973, in Piacenza) is an Italian footballer who plays as a centre forward. He is the brother of Simone Inzaghi, who is also a professional footballer. He has played for several clubs in Italy, notably Juventus during the 1990s, and he is currently playing for Italian Serie A giants AC Milan. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time which has helped him score many of his career goals.
Inzaghi has been selected for the Italian national team in various international matches and tournaments, including the World Cup in 1998, 2002, and was also in the squad for the 2006 World Cup, in which he scored one goal in the group stages, as the Italians were crowned World Champions.
Inzaghi got his start playing for hometown club Piacenza Calcio as a teenager, in the 1991-92 he appeared twice before going on loan to Leffe; while on loan he scored an impressive 13 goals in 21 games for the Serie C1 club.
The following season saw the player move to Hellas Verona, collecting a further 13 goals in 36 games, this time in Serie B, he soon returned to his first club Piacenza Calcio however, adding 15 goals in 37 games for the club, proving himself as an exciting young prospect.
Inzaghi stepped up to the top league the following year, with a move to Parma A.C.; though he would only appear for the club 15 times, getting 2 goals. In 1997, he fully burst onto the Serie A scene with Atalanta as the season's top scorer in the Italian Serie A with 24 goals, and he was also awarded young player of the year.
A big move was on the cards for the Italian; a move to the infamous Lippi era Juventus came. Along with Alessandro Del Piero and Zinedine Zidane, the three formed a formidable attacking partnership together which would last for four seasons, terrorising Serie A defenses. The team won the scudetto in the 1997-98 season and narrowly lost in the UEFA Champions League final the same year.
In total Inzaghi scored 57 in 120 games for the Old Lady, but moved to A.C. Milan after falling out of favour at Juve to David Trézéguet. He suffered a knee injury and was out for half of his first season at A.C. Milan, but when he returned, carried on where he left off with his scoring, forging a strong goalscoring partnership with Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko.
At A.C. Milan Inzaghi became the all time top Italian goalscorer in European competition history, beating the previous record of 39 goals held by Alessandro Altobelli. While he has been at the club, A.C. Milan have won, the Scudetto (2003-04), the European Cup (2002-03), Italian Super Cup (2004), the European Super Cup (2003) and the Coppa Italia (2002-03). They also reached the European Cup final in 2004-05 but lost out. Inzaghi remains at the club currently.
Pippo" made his debut for Italy against Brazil on June 8, 1997, and has since scored 23 goals in 53 appearances for his country, proving himself to be one of the most prolific scorers for his home nation; he is currently the 8th all-time top scorer for Italy.
Inzaghi played in the following competitions: 1998 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2000 (scoring against Turkey and Romania), and the 2002 FIFA World Cup. However, he was left out of the Italian squad for Euro 2004 in favour of Bernardo Corradi, Alessandro Del Piero, Marco Di Vaio, Francesco Totti, and Christian Vieri.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup saw Inzaghi's return to football competitions for Italy, after Christian Vieri was unable to make the team due to injury. Inzaghi scored against Czech Republic after coming on as a substitute; Italy went on to be crowned World Champions, though Inzaghi played no further part in the tournament.
His supporters have affectionately nicknamed him Superpippo or Superpippo Inzagol during his best years; Superpippo is the Italian name of Disney character Super Goof.
Dutch coach Johann Cruyff has said of Inzaghi, "Look, actually he can't play football at all. He's just always in the right position."
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson once quipped, "Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position."
Inzaghi holds the record for the most offside player in football. [citation needed]
He is a qualified accountant.

You realize that when Offzaghi drives, he drives on the wrong side of the road. He just can't help himself.
