A Liverpool cult hero now looks completely different after taking up a career in management.
The star only played with the Reds for two seasons, joining to fill the void left by the departing John Arne Riise.
In that time the star scored two goals for Liverpool in 31 appearances.
One of those goals, which would prove to be his only goal in England for the club, came against arch rivals Manchester United in a 4-1 win under Rafael Benitez in March 2009.
His other goal for the Reds came four days prior in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
The Italian could play as a left-back or left winger and made a name for himself for his impact off the bench.

Dossena finally hung up his boots in 2017.
He then made first foray into management in 2019 with Serie D side Crema.
Stints with Ravenna and Serie C club Renate would follow before landing his current role with Pro Vercelli.
