'''David Sergio Trezeguet''' ({{IPA|fr|david sɛʁʒjo tʁezəɡɛ|lang}}, {{IPA|es|daˈβið ˈseɾxjo tɾeseˈɣe(t)|lang}}; born 15 October 1977) is a French-Argentine former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Striker (association football)|striker]].

Trezeguet began his career in Argentina with [[Club Atlético Platense]] at the age of eight, progressing through their [[youth system]] to their first team, where he made his debut in the [[Primera División Argentina|Primera División]] in 1994. After one season, he transferred to [[Ligue 1|Division 1]] side [[AS Monaco FC|Monaco]], where he would form a striking partnership with international teammate [[Thierry Henry]], winning the league in the [[1996–97 French Division 1|1996–97 season]]. He left the club in 2000, having scored 52 goals in 93 Division 1 appearances and having claimed two [[List of French football champions|Division 1 championships]] and the [[Trophée des champions|1997 Trophée des champions]].

In 2000, Trezeguet signed for [[Serie A]] club [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] for a transfer fee of £20&nbsp;million. With 24 goals, he was the joint recipient of the ''[[Capocannoniere]]'' award for top scorer as his team won the [[2001–02 Serie A]] title; Trezeguet also scored eight goals in 10 [[2001–02 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] appearances as Juventus reached the second round of the tournament. Despite struggling with injuries the following season, he won another [[2002–03 Serie A|league title]] with the club, and also scored four goals in 10 [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] appearances as Juventus reached the [[2003 UEFA Champions League Final|final]] of the tournament, eventually losing 2–3 on penalties to [[A.C. Milan|Milan]], as Trezeguet missed his spot kick in the resulting shoot-out. Overall, Trezeguet scored 138 goals in 245 league appearances for Juventus, making him the fourth-highest goalscorer in the club's history.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/world-match-centre/news/newsid/178/972/8/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140421050543/http://www.fifa.com/world-match-centre/news/newsid/178/972/8/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 April 2014|title=Trezeguet: I'm Argentinian at heart|date=22 October 2012|access-date=20 April 2014|work=FIFA}}</ref> Later in his career he had brief spells in Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Argentina and India.

At international level, Trezeguet scored 34 goals in 71 appearances for the [[France national football team|France national team]] between 1998 and 2008.

==Personal life==
Trezeguet was born in [[Rouen]], Seine-Maritime, France,<ref name="lequipe"/> but grew up in [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. His father, [[Jorge Trezeguet]], is a former Argentine footballer who worked as his agent, and his mother, Beatriz, is Argentine. David Trezeguet has a younger sister.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

Trezeguet was married to Beatriz Villalba for 13 years, they have two sons together, Aarón (born 2000) and Noraan (born 2008). Beatriz is from [[Alicante]], Spain. They divorced in 2012.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bon anniversaire David Trezeguet ! |trans-title=Happy birthday David Trezeguet! |url=http://www.programme.tv/news/actu/146951-bon-anniversaire-david-trezeguet/ |access-date=21 July 2018 |publisher=Programme.tv |date=15 October 2012 |language=fr}}</ref> Aaron did not follow in his father's footsteps as a footballer, instead practicing [[Muay Thai]] [[kickboxing]].

==Club career==
===Platense===
Trezeguet began his career at [[Club Atlético Platense|Platense]] in the [[Argentine Primera División]], where he played his first professional game on 12 June 1994 as a 16-year-old in a 1–1 tie against [[Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata|Gimnasia]].<ref name="Trezeguet">{{cite news |title=La increíble historia de Trezeguet |trans-title=The incredible story of Trezeguet |url=http://www.lanacion.com.ar/86361-la-increible-historia-de-trezeguet |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025215310/http://www.lanacion.com.ar/86361-la-increible-historia-de-trezeguet |archive-date=25 October 2014 |access-date=22 January 2015 |newspaper=La Nación |publisher=Lanacion}}</ref> After just five matches with the team, he moved to his native country to play for [[AS Monaco FC|AS Monaco]].<ref name="Trezeguet"/>

===Monaco===
In 1995, he was close to joining [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]], but the deal was cancelled after the two clubs failed to agree a deal. Shortly afterwards, he opted to join Monaco.<ref name="Trezeguet"/> Monaco coach [[Jean Tigana]] was "impressed" by Trezeguet, who scored five goals in trial, signing a deal which saw him earn 15,000 francs a month.<ref>{{cite web |title=Trezeguet est arrivé à Monaco les mains dans les poches |trans-title=Trezeguet arrived in Monaco empty-handed |url=https://www.humanite.fr/1997-12-11_Articles_-Trezeguet-est-arrive-a-Monaco-les-mains-dans-les-poches |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090608004150/http://www.humanite.fr/1997-12-11_Articles_-Trezeguet-est-arrive-a-Monaco-les-mains-dans-les-poches |archive-date=8 June 2009 |access-date=22 January 2015 |work=L'Humanité}}</ref>

Trezeguet spent two seasons with Monaco B, having made just nine appearances in total for the club's first team during his first two seasons.<ref>{{NFT player|id=2422|name=David Trezeguet}}</ref> In 1998, Trezeguet scored the fastest ever goal in terms of velocity in [[UEFA Champions League]] history in a quarter-final match against [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. The shot that resulted in a goal was clocked at 97.6&nbsp;mph (157.3&nbsp;km/h).{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}} With Monaco, he won [[Ligue 1]] twice and was named [[Trophées UNFP du football#Young Player of the Year|Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year]] in 1998. He scored a total of 60 goals in 113 appearances for the Monégasque club and it was here that he made his name as a potent goalscoring [[Forward (association football)#Centre forward|poacher]].<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET">{{cite web |author1=Stefano Bedeschi |date=15 October 2013 |title=Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET |trans-title=The heroes in black and white: David TREZEGUET |url=http://www.tuttojuve.com/gli-eroi-bianconeri/gli-eroi-in-bianconero-david-trazaguet-66189 |access-date=24 April 2015 |website=tuttojuve.com |language=it}}</ref>

===Juventus===
During his first season with [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], under manager [[Carlo Ancelotti]], Trezeguet managed 14 goals in Serie A, despite being predominantly utilised as a substitute striker, behind [[Filippo Inzaghi]], who started alongside [[Alessandro Del Piero]]. Juventus missed out on the [[2000–01 Serie A|2000–01 Serie A title]] that season, finishing in second place behind [[A.S. Roma|Roma]]. 

In his second season at the club, under manager [[Marcello Lippi]], he scored 24 league goals in 34 league matches to finish as the [[Capocannoniere|Serie A top goalscorer]], along with [[Dario Hübner]] of [[Piacenza Calcio|Piacenza]], as Juventus won the [[2001–02 Serie A]] title. That same season, he was named [[Serie A Footballer of the Year]] and [[Serie A Foreign Footballer of the Year]], also reaching the final of the [[2001–02 Coppa Italia]]; he also scored eight goals in ten [[2001–02 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] appearances, although the club were eliminated in the second round of the competition. In January 2002, a car carrying Trezeguet and teammates [[Mark Iuliano]], [[Gianluca Zambrotta]] and [[Enzo Maresca]] after a 3–1 win over [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Hellas Verona]], collided with two others; none of the four players were injured in the accident.<ref>{{cite news |title=Trezeguet unharmed after crash |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/025e-0f905f2c17ca-3f86e290f828-1000--trezeguet-unharmed-after-crash/ |website=[[UEFA]] |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=28 January 2002 |access-date=27 May 2020 }}</ref> In his third season, his appearances were limited by injuries, although he still helped Juventus to defend the [[2002–03 Serie A|Serie A title]], also winning the [[2002 Supercoppa Italiana]] and scoring four goals in ten appearances as Juventus reached the [[2003 UEFA Champions League Final]]. In the final, Trezeguet was one of three Juventus players to have their penalty saved by [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] keeper [[Dida (footballer, born 1973)|Dida]], as Juventus lost 3–2 on penalty kicks after a 0–0 draw. This would be the closest Trezeguet ever got to winning the Champions League. During the 2003–04 season, Trezeguet helped the team to win a second consecutive [[2003 Supercoppa Italiana|Supercoppa Italiana]] title, scoring a goal during the match, also reaching another [[2004 Coppa Italia Final|Coppa Italia final]], although their [[2003–04 UEFA Champions League|European]] and [[2003–04 Serie A|domestic league campaigns]] would be less successful, despite his 16 goals in Serie A that season, as the club finished the league in third place. In 2004, [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian]] legend [[Pelé]] included Trezeguet in the [[FIFA 100]], his list of the 125 greatest living footballers.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET" />

[[File:David Trezeguet.jpg|thumb|Trezeguet playing for Juventus]]

Although Trezeguet won the [[2004–05 Serie A]] and [[2005–06 Serie A]] titles with Juventus, scoring 23 league goals in the 2005–06 season, Juventus were caught in the [[2006 Italian football scandal]] that rocked Italian football, and along with Milan, [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]], [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]], and [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]] were accused of [[match fixing]]. While the players had no part in the scandal, Juventus were subsequently stripped of their [[2004–05 Serie A|2004–05]] and [[2005–06 Serie A|2005–06]] titles, relegated to [[Serie B]], and were to start the [[2006–07 Serie B|2006–07 season]] with a deficit of 30 points, eventually reduced to nine points on appeal. Following the enforced relegation to Serie B, the club lost several of its star players, including [[Fabio Cannavaro]] to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], [[Gianluca Zambrotta]] to [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Adrian Mutu]] to Fiorentina, and [[Zlatan Ibrahimović]] to [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]]. Trezeguet's compatriots [[Lilian Thuram]] and [[Patrick Vieira]] also left Juventus, for Barcelona and Inter, respectively. Manager [[Fabio Capello]] defected to Real Madrid and former Juventus legend and Trezeguet's former [[France national football team|France]] teammate and captain, [[Didier Deschamps]], was appointed the new manager of Juve. As one of the club's star players, Trezeguet was heavily linked to a move away from Juventus, but he ultimately stayed with the ''Bianconeri'' to help the club return to Italy's top flight.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET"/>

On 16 September 2006, before Juventus' [[2006–07 Serie B|Serie B]] match against [[Vicenza Calcio|Vicenza]], he was awarded a commemorative plate in recognition of his 125 career goals. On 19 May 2007, Juventus achieved promotion to Serie A after a 5–1 win over [[A.C. Arezzo|Arezzo]]. Trezeguet scored the fifth goal which made the promotion mathematically possible. Despite the successful return to Serie A, and an eventual Serie B title, the season was not without controversy. After scoring a goal in Juventus' final match of the [[2006–07 Serie B]] season against [[Spezia Calcio|Spezia]], Trezeguet made a gesture toward the club president, making a number 15 with his fingers&nbsp;– the number of goals he scored throughout the Serie B season&nbsp;– which was followed by a hand gesture which, in [[Italian language|Italian]], means "I'm out of here".{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}} Juventus, however, announced on 25 June 2007 that Trezeguet had renewed his contract until 2011.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=473852&CPID=21&clid=128&lid=8&title=Trez+extends+Juve+deal |title=Trez extends Juve deal |first=Peter |last=O'Rourke |author-link= |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=26 June 2007 |access-date=28 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070701150114/http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=473852&CPID=21&clid=128&lid=8&title=Trez+extends+Juve+deal |archive-date=1 July 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=442024&cc=5901 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103043243/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=442024&cc=5901 |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 January 2013 |title=Trezeguet claims he snubbed United and Liverpool |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=25 June 2007 |access-date=25 June 2007 }}</ref>

During the [[2007–08 Serie A]] season, Trezeguet scored 20 league goals and was second only to teammate and club captain Alessandro Del Piero for the ''Capocannoniere''. Juventus finished third in the league to qualify for the Champions League after missing out on the tournament for two consecutive seasons.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET"/>

In the [[2008–09 Serie A|2008–09 season]], Trezeguet sustained a groin injury that kept him out for most of the season. Trezeguet finally made his return on 4 February 2009 against [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] in the [[Coppa Italia]] and had a goal controversially disallowed. Nevertheless, he was one of the players who scored in the penalty shootout, which Juventus won 4–3. Trezeguet would shortly get his first goal of 2009 in a 2–0 win against [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]] in late February&nbsp;– a match where he received the [[Captain (association football)|captaincy]] for the first time in his professional career. Juventus finished the season in second place in the league, also reaching the semi-finals of the [[2008–09 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] and the round of 16 of the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]].<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET"/>

On 9 December 2009, Trezeguet scored his 168th goal for Juventus in a 4–1 defeat to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League]], making him the club's highest-ever foreign goalscorer, surpassing [[Omar Sívori]]'s total of 167 goals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1716/champions-league/2009/12/08/1674979/juventus-1-4-bayern-munich-germans-record-sensational-victory-in-|title=Juventus 1-4 Bayern Munich: Germans Record Sensational Victory in Turin To Qualify For Last 16 - Goal.com|date=8 December 2009}}</ref> At the end of the [[2009–10 Serie A|2009–10 season]], Trezeguet ranked fourth among Juventus' all-time top goalscorers with 171 goals. In August 2010, he was released from the remaining 12 months of his contract by Juventus.<ref name="football.uk.reuters.com">[http://football.uk.reuters.com/leagues/seriea/news/2010/08/28/LDE67R091.php Trezeguet released by Juve and set to join Hercules] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120525083047/http://football.uk.reuters.com/leagues/seriea/news/2010/08/28/LDE67R091.php |date=25 May 2012 }} Reuters</ref>

==International career==
As a French–Argentinian, Trezeguet was eligible to play for France or [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2011/03/05/2380313/david-trezeguet-chose-to-play-for-france-not-argentina|title=David Trezeguet chose to play for France not Argentina because he wanted to win - Thierry Henry|website=Goal.com|access-date=21 April 2021}}</ref>

Trezeguet first competed internationally in the French youth squad alongside [[Thierry Henry]], [[Willy Sagnol]], and [[William Gallas]], and played in the [[1997 FIFA World Youth Championship]]. In the lead up to the [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]] in France, [[Aimé Jacquet]] gave younger players such as David Trezeguet, Henry and [[Patrick Vieira]] the chance to display their talent, and all three were eventually selected for the World Cup ahead of experienced French players including [[David Ginola]]. Trezeguet scored one goal in the tournament, in the 4–0 win over [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]], as France went on to win the World Cup, defeating [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] 3–0 in the final at the [[Stade de France]]. Two years later France were crowned European champions after defeating [[Italy national football team|Italy]] 2–1 in the [[UEFA Euro 2000 Final|Euro 2000 final]], courtesy of Trezeguet's [[golden goal]] in [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]] from a [[Robert Pires]] assist.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lacey |first=David |date=2000-07-03 |title=France add Europe to the world |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/jul/03/euro2000.sport4 |access-date=2025-06-22 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

Although ranked first in the world, France was not very successful in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]], being eliminated in the group stage without scoring a single goal, despite David Trezeguet, Thierry Henry and [[Djibril Cissé]] being the top goalscorers respectively in [[2001–02 Serie A|Serie A]], the [[2001–02 FA Premier League|Premier League]] and [[2001–02 French Division 1|Ligue 1]] that season. The failure was then followed up by a quarter-final exit at [[UEFA Euro 2004|Euro 2004]] at the hands of unheralded [[Greece national football team|Greece]] with Trezeguet scoring just one goal in the tournament in a 2–2 draw against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]]. However, with the return of [[Zinedine Zidane]] from brief international retirement, France would go on to reach the final of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]]. Throughout the tournament, Trezeguet found himself out of place in [[Raymond Domenech]]'s [[Formation (association football)#4.E2.80.932.E2.80.933.E2.80.931|4–2–3–1 formation]] which only used one striker&nbsp;– a position allocated to Thierry Henry. On 9 July 2006, Trezeguet took part in the final, coming on as a substitute. The match, against Italy, went to a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shootout]] and Trezeguet was the only player from either team to miss his penalty, his shot hitting the crossbar, as Italy won 5–3 on penalty kicks after a 1–1 draw.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET"/>

On 19 October 2007, Trezeguet threatened to quit France after being overlooked for two [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying|Euro 2008 qualifying]] matches by coach [[Raymond Domenech]].<ref name="retirementthreat">{{cite web|url=http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/19102007/58/euro-2008-trezeguet-threatens-quit-france.html|title=Yahoo UK & Ireland - Sports News - Live Scores - Results|website=Yahoo Sports}}</ref> On 26 March 2008, Trezeguet was selected for a friendly against [[England national football team|England]] to replace the injured [[Karim Benzema]], which would turn out to be his last appearance for France as he was subsequently not chosen for the squad that competed in [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]].<ref>{{cite web|title=France drop Trezeguet from Euro 2008 squad |url=http://fourfourtwo.com/news/restofeurope/9438/default.aspx |publisher=FourFourTwo |access-date=19 May 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711021556/http://fourfourtwo.com/news/restofeurope/9438/default.aspx |archive-date=11 July 2011}}</ref>

Although he wasn't particularly talented, skillful, or known for his link-up play, he was also highly regarded for his positional sense, anticipation, reactions, offensive movement, and his ability to lose his markers, as well as for his skill at playing with his back to goal, courtesy of his solid technique.<ref name="Gli eroi in bianconero: David TRÉZÉGUET"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://juventinologo.blogspot.ca/2009/05/david-trezeguet-scheda-tecnica.html|title=David Trezeguet – Scheda tecnica|access-date=12 September 2014}}</ref><ref name="Trezeguet's ruthless finishing">{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.us/blog/tactics-and-analysis/67/post/2259406/david-trezeguets-ruthless-and-clinical-finishing-made-him-a-memorable-striker|title=David Trezeguet's ruthless finishing made him a memorable striker|publisher=ESPN FC|author1=Michael Cox|date=22 January 2015|access-date=6 March 2017}}</ref> Considered to be one of the best strikers of his generation, due to the number of goals he scored for Juventus he gained the nicknames: ''Cobra'', ''Trezegol'', and ''Re David'' (King David, in Italian), during his time at the club.
