Franco Baresi
With Sacchi leaving Milan to coach the Italy national team, Fabio Capello was hired and under him, the "Rossoneri" kept being successful and came to be known as "Gli Invicibili" ("The Invincibles"). With an unprecedented 58-match run with no defeats, the "Invincibili" boasted the likes of Franco Baresi, Alessandro Costacurta and Paolo Maldini as one of the strongest defences in football history, along with Marcel Desailly and Roberto Donadoni in midfield and Dejan Savićević, Zvonimir Boban and Daniele Massaro in attack.
