Having played for some of the biggest clubs in Europe in Benfica, Chelsea and Olympique Lyonnais, Tiago has proven his worth and versatility and now has the unenviable task of helping Juventus regain their pride and dignity in Serie A.
A no-nonsense, tough tackling central midfielder with a great range of passing, Tiago is an archetype of the modern European midfield player and selling him to accommodate Michael Essien at Chelsea still stands as one of Jose Mourinho's self confessed biggest mistakes in football.
