His greatest achievements in club football were at Juventus, where his work-rate enabled him to form a notable midfield partnership with French playmaker Michel Platini and mezzala Marco Tardelli, having won 3 Serie A titles, 1 Italian Cup, 1 European Cup, 1 Cup Winners' Cup, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Intercontinental Cup and becoming the first and only Sanmarinese footballer to win a UEFA club competition. At the international level, he gained 19 caps for the San Marino national football team.
