Cristian Brocchi (born 30 January 1976, Milan) is an Italian footballer, who currently plays for A.C. Milan.
Starting his career at his native club A.C. Milan youth system, he was loaned to Pro Sesto and Lumezzane in early years. In 1998, Brocchi was sold to Hellas Verona in Serie B. Brocchi followed the club promoted to Serie A. After a year in the top-division, Internazionale signed him in 2000. In the summer of 2001, A.C. Milan re-signed him in exchange of Andrés Guglielminpietro, who went to Inter. In AC Milan, Brocchi had to compete with Fernando Redondo, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf, etc. He only made not more than 15 appearances a year, and often as a sub. Brocchi was then loaned to ACF Fiorentina in July 2005, with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season but at the end of 2005-06, he returned to A.C.Milan.
Brocchi has other interests outside of football, he opened a cafe in Milan along with ex-AC Milan teammate Christian Abbiati, and started his own clothing brand (Baci & Abbracci) with close friend and footballer Christian Vieri and model Alena Šeredova. The brand is becoming very popular in Italy at the moment.
He made his international debut for the Italy national football team in a friendly against Turkey on 15 November 2006.
