Sergio Brio
Sergio Brio (born 19 August 1956) is an Italian former footballer, in the role of centre back, who played for Juventus from the mid 1970s to the ending 1980s having won, among others, four Serie A titles and becoming one of the only six footballers to have won all UEFA club competitions.

In addition to his athletic ability, he was also known for his concentration, and was an excellent man-marker, and reader of the game. Club career Brio was born in Lecce, Apulia. He began his career with his local club, U.S. Lecce, during the 1973–74 season, before moving to Juventus for the 1974–75 season, although he did not make a single appearance with the club that season.
