CNN —Aged 15 years and 260 days old, Francesco Camarda pulled on the famous black and red striped jersey of AC Milan on Saturday, and made history as the youngest ever debutant in Serie A.
The Rossoneri’s victory against Fiorentina stymied their recent drought of wins, and ensured they remained third in the league, five points behind leaders Inter Milan.
I could be his grandfather,” Milan manager Stefano Pioli told Sky Sport Italia, according to ESPN.
So far this season, Camarda had made nine appearances for AC Milan in the Campionato Primavera 1 TIM, Italy’s under-19 league, and scored one goal.
After his history-making Serie A debut, Camarda’s teammates rushed to congratulate him, including France’s all time leading goalscorer Olivier Giroud who hailed his “rossonero little brother” on Instagram.
