Massimo Ambrosini is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder and is the captain of Serie A club Milan. He is well known for his aerial ability, passing and tackling.

On 6 July 2009, as the Milan team reunited for pre-season training, Ambrosini was officially named club captain, inheriting the armband from Paolo Maldini. On 8 September 2009, he added one more year to his current contract to 2011. He won Serie A title in 2010–11 season with 3 more games to play.

On 19 May 2011, he signed a new 1-year contract. After the disappointing second place finish in the 2011–12 season and the departure of fellow greats such as Filippo Inzaghi, Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso and Clarence Seedorf, Ambrosini was reported to be considering his future but Galliani was able to convince Massimo to sign yet another 1 year deal and continue on to be the captain for A.C. Milan in the 2012–13 season.
