Filippo "Pippo" Inzaghi (born August 9, 1973, in Piacenza, Italy) is a professional soccer player who plays the forward position. He has played for several club teams in Italy, currently playing for Italian Serie A giants A.C. Milan, and has previously been selected to play on the Italian national football team in various international matches and tournaments. He has won the Italian Serie A league championship (also known as the scudetto) with Juventus and most recently with A.C. Milan. Most recently, he was left off the Italian squad for Euro 2004 in favour of such forwards as Bernardo Corradi , Alessandro Del Piero, Marco Di Vaio , Francesco Totti, and Christian Vieri.
He was often criticized for being a diver, i.e. a player that fakes fouls in order to gain penalties or free kicks. He has currently lost his starting spot on A.C. Milan to Hernán Crespo.
