Club career

In his earlier years, Bachini was considered a promising midfielder, even making two appearances for the Italy national football team in 1998, under manager Dino Zoff;[1] an offensive winger with good feet and goalscoring ability, he was known in particular for his speed, work-rate, strength, and stamina.[2] [3] Throughout his club career, Bachini played for Lecce, Udinese, Juventus FC, Brescia, Parma, and Siena, in Serie A.[4] [5] While at Juventus he helped them win the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup.[6]

On 3 July 2001, he joined Parma from Juve as part of Gianluigi Buffon's deal.[7] However, Bachini returned to Brescia on loan in September 2001, with Aimo Diana moved to opposite direction.[8] The loan was renewed in June 2002.[9] In July 2003 Brescia finally signed Bachini outright, along with Parma teammate Matuzalém.

Drug bans
