Aristide Guarneri (Italian pronunciation: [aˈristide ɡwarˈnɛːri]; born 7 March 1938) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender. Initially a fullback at the beginning of his career, he was later usually deployed as a centre-back, where he excelled due to his anticipation, tackling, marking, and ability to read the game. Guarneri was known as a "gentleman of the game", as he never received a red-card throughout his career, despite being a tenacious defender.[1][2]

He was part of Inter's European Cup victories in 1964 and 1965, also winning three Serie A titles, two Intercontinental Cups in 1964 and 1965. Although he was unable to win the Coppa Italia throughout his career, he reached the final during the 1964–65 season, narrowly missing out on a treble with Inter.[1][2]
