Alessandro Nesta -
Another who needs no introduction. Probably the biggest name ever to join Montreal Impact at the time of his signing. Highly decorated with 1 Champions League success, 3 Serie A titles, 3 Coppa Italia’s and a European Cup Winner’s Cup winners medal. Internationally, Nesta also won the World Cup in 2006 and the UEFA u21 Championship in 1996.

In an amazing run of consistency, he was voted Serie A Defender of the Year four years running 2000 to 2003.

For the Impact Nesta made 34 appearances for the Impact over a period of 18 months between 2012 and 2013.

Marco di Vaio -
An expert taker of chances as 40 goals in 88 appearances (all comps) with the Impact will testify.

Was on the bench for Juventus’ European Cup Final penalties defeat v Milan at Old Trafford in 2003. His spell at Juve last two years and reaped one Scudetto. Also had Serie A experience with Lazio, Parma, Genoa and Bologna, while outside the land of his birth Marco had spell with both Monaco and Valencia.

In his 14 caps for the Azzuri between 2001 and 2004, he scored on two occasions.

Blerim Dzemaili -
Arrived on loan from Bologna as a DP in 2017. Dynamic midfielder with a powerful shot, Dzemaili was an instant hit, although a player who sometimes displayed dismay at his team-mates, un-endearing him to some fans. There was no doubting his talent however as he smashed home 8 goals and provided 10 assists in 25 games. Further frustrated Impact fans by not returning for the second year of his loan, preferring instead to remain in Italy with Bologna.

Also played for FC Zurich, Torino, Napoli, Parma, Genoa and Galatasary, Dzemaili won Championships and national cups in both Switzerland and Turkey and the Coppa Italia with Napoli.

65 caps and 10 goals for Switzerland, he was included in their World Cup squads on no fewer than three occasions (2006, 2014 & 2018) and one Euros in 2016.
