Career

Club

Bianchi spent most of his career with Cesena, making his professional debut during the 1985-86 Serie B season and also retiring with the club in 2001, and with Inter. He spent the 1986-87 season on loan with Padova in Serie C before returning to Cesena, and he transferred to Inter for 4.5 billion Lit. in 1988. With Inter, he was notably a member of the starting line-up that won the record-breaking 1988-89 Serie A title, although, despite his talent, a serious muscle injury during the 1992-93 season greatly affected his career at the age of 27. He remained at the club until 1996, also winning the 1989 Supercoppa Italiana, and two UEFA Cups (1990-91 and 1993-94) during his time at Inter, notably scoring a decisive goal against Aston Villa in the round of 16 of the 1990-91 edition of the UEFA Cup.[1]

After his stint with Inter, he returned once again to Cesena in Serie B, where he remained until his retirement from professional football.[2] After his retirement, he still remained active as a footballer, and in 2010, he played in the Cervia Over-35 team as a midfielder, and during the 2012-13 season, he took part in the Umbro Second Division League with Eugubina Calcio.[1]

International

Bianchi also represented the Italian national football team on 9 occasions between 1992 and 1994. He made his international debut under manager Arrigo Sacchi on 19 February 1992, in a 4-0 international friendly home victory over San Marino in Cesena.[3]
