5 active footballers who have spent more than a decade with their current club

#5 Giorgio Chiellini

Giorgio Chiellini

Chiellini is still among the best centre-backs in the world after having spent 13 years at Juventus. He is a very good tackler and man-marker and exceptionally strong in the air too. He also remains one of the greatest defenders the world has seen in the new century.

Chiellini started his career as a left-back but soon made the centre-back position his own. He has played in 487 matches for Juve and scored 35 goals for them. He has also won seven Serie A titles for Juventus.

Chiellini has played both in a 4-man and a 3-man defense for Juventus. He was part of the much-vaunted back 3 also comprising Leonardo Bonucci and Barzaghli for a considerable period of time.

He helped Juventus make it to a couple of Champions League finals but could not win the trophy ultimately. However, he can take heart from the fact that he has quite possibly been the most consistent member of the strongest defense in European club football for the past decade.
